Congestion? No way. Containers? Yes!
Our port stretches from Vlissingen on the North Sea to Ghent, 30 km inland. Close to your customers. That means more efficient transport and faster delivery. While others get stuck in queues or traffic jams, containers move through our port without a hitch—deep into Europe.
Whether it’s food, pharma or retail—our multimodal, sustainable connections to the Netherlands, Belgium and Northern France keep things moving. No hold-ups, pure efficiency. Our container handling? Sharper, smoother, faster.
Terminal services with added-value
Our terminals are true one-stop shops: packaging, filling, labelling and more. Local BCPs, cleaning and inspection services? We’ve got it all on deck.
Tailored services
Our terminals run like Swiss watches: (fully) automated, multimodal and offering complete services from storage and transhipment to fumigation and repairs.
Border Control Posts
Our Border Control Posts let you handle customs and border formalities right on site—saving time on logistics and boosting delivery reliability.
Cleaning & inspection
Specialised Pre-Trip Inspection (PTI) firms operate right by the terminals—cleaning containers, checking cargo and ensuring full certification.
From tropical fruit to Zeeland onions
Nearly all Chiquita bananas for Europe arrive through our port in special refrigerated containers (reefers). Some continue their journey straight into Europe. Others are unloaded, cleaned and filled with Zeeland onions—then shipped back to South America. That’s how we close the logistics loop.
