Port of Rotterdam and North Rhine-Westphalia Partners in Logistics for Germany


North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) Economy Minister Harry K. Voigtsberger intends to press the federal German government to take cross-border infrastructure projects into account in implementing the national port concept. The minister made this clear during a parliamentary evening on the theme Transport and Logistics hosted by the NRW Economy Ministry and the Port of Rotterdam Authority in the NRW representative office in Berlin. Mutual relations and federal German transport policy were at the focus of the meeting.


"North Rhine-Westphalia is the hinterland and the extended quayside for the ZARA ports (Zeebrugge, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Antwerp). Good transport links are key to economic cooperation. We attach great importance to trimodal solutions and properly functioning logistics chains. The Betuwe Freight Railway that links the ports of Amsterdam and Rotterdam with the Ruhr is especially important for NRW," Voigtsberger said.
