This is how we roll

17 m deep-sea port – essential for large roro vessels
12.5 m canal depth.
600 k roro goods imported and exported annually.
128.5 million tonnes cargo shipped yearly.

Congestion-free port? Let’s roll.

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, roro moves through our port without a hitch—deep into Europe.

From car parts to finished vehicles, semi-manufactures, project cargo or rolling heavy equipment — everything flows effortlessly here. We offer congestion-free, multimodal connections. Worldwide. North to South, East to West. That’s just how we roll.
