Port of Limburg
Innovative and sustainable logistics hub
Belgium’s inland waterways offer plenty of capacity for barges, as well as an efficient and sustainable alternative to the trucks that contribute to road congestion and carbon emissions. Port of Limburg is going to be located on the Albert Canal, one of Belgium’s most important waterways, and will lie close to major roads and railways. This makes it the ideal ultra-modern logistics hub for companies that want to shift to sustainable & competitive multimodal transport.
