Haven Amsterdam

Railway

The port of Amsterdam is well served with rail connections. Because of this, Europe as a whole is very accessible. The port has its own marshalling yards and connections to main lines. 

Betuwelijn

Amsterdam is connected with the 'Betuwelijn' at Geldermalsen. The Betuwelijn is a freight only rail shuttle link between Rotterdam and Amsterdam in the West and the German border in the East. It offers a direct non-stop connection witht he European hinterland.

International railway connections

If there is no railway connection up to a company site, then this can be created in co-operation with the Port of Amsterdam. There is a Rotterdam-Amsterdam shuttle with an international rail connection to Belgium, France, Switzerland and beyond.


Growth railway transportation

Four million tons of goods are transported by train in the Amsterdam region each year. Products vary from oil, steel and coal to waste, cars and general cargo. The expectation is that rail transport will grow healthily in the future. Rail is an excellent alternative for road transport over long distances.
