About this ambition:
Strengthening the shortsea position towards 2030
The Port of Moerdijk has significant added value as a European shortsea port in North Brabant. Towards 2030, we are committed to further strengthening this position. We achieve substantial added value through strategic cooperation with the Brabant inland ports.
Sustainable cargo flows and the circular economy
On the one hand, by focusing on the growth of sustainable cargo flows, thereby facilitating the circular economy. On the other hand, through growth via sustainable modalities such as water, rail and pipelines. This includes a deliberate shift towards relatively fewer trucks on the road.
Multimodal connections and a European hinterland
The port area is an important hub for sea, rail, road, pipeline and inland shipping connections, with an extensive hinterland across Europe. We have a strong hinterland network, which we continue to expand.
Contributing to European autonomy and strategic objectives
By optimally leveraging our position, we can make a positive contribution to Europe’s autonomy. We focus on sustainable growth of our shortsea position, where growth is not an end in itself, but a means to achieve our other strategic objectives.
