Future-proof infrastructure for strong logistic chains In its new strategic plan ‘Connect 2025’, North Sea Port has described eight programmes to realise its goals for the next few years. The two programmes, Strong Logistic Chains and Futureproof Infrastructure are essential for North Sea Port’s role as hub for international cargo flows.
For an optimal functioning of a port, strong logistic chains, combined with a good infrastructure that guarantees accessibility of the port through all modalities, are very important. This is the reason why North Sea Port has included these programmes in Connect 2025.
TEN-T As part of the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T), North Sea Port is strategically located at the junction of two important logistic axles, the North-South and the East-West axle. Thanks to the integration of the four transport modalities sea shipping, rail, inland shipping, and road transport, the connection from the port area to the North Sea-Mediterranean Sea, the North Sea-Baltic, and the Rhine-Alp corridor can be used in a sustainable and efficient manner.
It is of course also important that the infrastructure in the port area remains up to date.
