Port of Antwerp Connectivity Platform brings goods quickly and smoothly to and from European hinterland
E ver larger ships from all over the world are finding their way across the oceans and
up the Scheldt to Antwerp. In 2012 the Antwerp container volume amounted to 8,635,169 TEU. The port has two important advan-tages when it comes to receiving these goods and carrying them to the European market. The first of these is Antwerp’s excellent geographical location in the heart of Europe, enabling seagoing ships to get very close to the European customer. A good 60% of European purchasing power lies within a radius of 500 km around Antwerp. But at least as important is the highly developed and diversified range of intermodal transport available, including road, barge, rail and pipeline. These regular hinterland connections bring the freight quickly and efficiently to the main European centres of pro-duction and consumption.
The port helps you save timeTo keep its customers better in-formed about the various transport possibilities and how to get goods quicker and easier to their Euro-pean destination, the port of Ant-werp has developed a new website. This Port of Antwerp Connectivity Platform tells you all about the pos-
sibilities available within the port. The interactive map enables you to search for specific container termi-nals on the basis of various criteria. For each terminal you will not only find the contact details and the exact location in the port but also the particular services it offers.The Connectivity Platform’s hin-terland tool describes the inter-modal connections to and from the European hinterland. But what makes the website unique is the transparent overview of the inland terminals in the European hinter-land, with details of how they can be most easily reached, by which operator. So in a minimum of time you can find the best way to get the goods to the right destination, even down the level of individual towns. “Together, the port of Antwerp and the container hubs in the hinter-land make inland transport more profitable while lowering CO2 emis-sions” says Bertwin Zonneveld of the BCTN group, explaining his decision to become a member of the Port of Antwerp Connectiv-ity Platform as an entry to the hinterland.
From 185 to 300 inland terminalsWith this handy online route planner the port of Antwerp offers
a unique and clear overview of the European hinterland. So far some 185 container terminals in 15 European countries have joined the platform. But the port of Antwerp has much greater ambitions, with plans to offer connections to and from 300 or so European inland terminals.
