The time has come for new opportunities. Welcome to Amsterdam!
Intermodal transport: efficient and sustainable
The terminals in the Amsterdam port area are connected to a large intermodal network of rail, road and inland waterways.
In this way you can easily and quickly offer door-to-door transport in the Netherlands and the rest of Europe. Without congestion and therefore without delay.
Intermodal traffic by water and rail is sustainable and energy efficient. We therefore encourage these forms of transport. For example, we support various (international) projects to further advance sustainable intermodal transport.
