Efficient transport to and from the European hinterland
The Amsterdam port region is optimally connected for rail freight transport. Whether steel, containers, dry bulk, ethanol, cars, petrol or breakbulk, you can efficiently transport your cargo to and from the European hinterland via various terminals.
Fifteen terminals with rail connections
The Amsterdam port area has 15 terminals with rail connections. There are also public quays with rail connections. These terminals can be divided into terminals for intermodal (container) transport, dry bulk terminals and liquid bulk terminals.
The rail network in the Amsterdam port area has two main docks: Westhaven and Aziëhaven. Both have overhead lines for electric locomotives and a 750 metre length of track for trains. Amsterdam's rail network will be expanded over the next few years.
