Rotterdam

The Port of Rotterdam is Europe’s largest seaport, equipped with world‑class terminals designed to accommodate the globe’s biggest ocean‑going vessels. In 2024, the port handled 435.8 million tonnes of cargo, reflecting only a slight 0.7% decline while container traffic grew to 13.8 million TEU, driven by rising consumer demand. With extensive deep‑water access, advanced digital infrastructure, and continuous investment in future‑proof projects such as the Porthos CO₂ transport and storage system, Rotterdam remains one of the world’s most sophisticated and resilient multimodal hubs, serving as a critical gateway for European and global trade.
