The advantages
of the Port of Moerdijk
Shorter driving route
Moerdijk is conveniently located between Rotterdam and Antwerp, meaning significantly shorter driving time compared to other shortsea terminals.
Less congestion
The infrastructure of Moerdijk is located outside of the congested and heavily used road network around Rotterdam.
Multimodal transport hub
In addition to container transport by truck, there are various inland shipping and train connections, such as rail connections to and from Moerdijk to Belgium, Germany, Italy and Poland.
Furthermore, Moerdijk is A2B-online’s hub for services to/from the UK and can connect with shortsea services to/from Spain, Portugal, Norway and Ireland.
About the cargo
What kind of cargo do we transport in our containers? We transport everything that you want to convey in your containers or those of third-party container operators (and potentially in our 45ft containers), as allowed by legal regulations. In this way, we transport, among others:
- paper and packaging materials

- household articles
- pet supplies
