Multimodal Transportation

The Port of Antwerp-Bruges aims to be climate neutral by 2050. If you look at the modal split of the entire port area in Antwerp, you will see that inland navigation accounts for almost half of all goods transported to and from the port. This means that barge transport delivers or picks up around 100 million tonnes of goods at our port every year.

There are many pathways that can lead to the decarbonisation of ports and terminal operations. The challenge? Harmonising the bustling activity of freight logistics with the pressing need to reduce the environmental footprint.

In the current logistics industry landscape, multimodal transportation is crucial for optimising the movement of goods. With increasing pressure to reduce carbon emissions and rising costs of traditional methods, sustainable and efficient logistics solutions are more urgent than ever.

Europe can only achieve its climate goals with eco-friendly supply chains. The Port of Hamburg plays an important role in this by combining ship and rail transport in a unique way.
