Groningen Seaports manages the ports of Delfzijl and Eemshaven, and the adjacent industrial estates. Groningen Seaports also encompasses two inland shipping docks, the Farmsumerhaven and the Oosterhornhaven. Thanks to its location, the presence of a selection of different types of industrial estates, the on-site infrastructure, the space and the cheap land prices, the land around Groningen Seaports is perfectly suited as an establishment location. Both ports are equipped for storage and transshipment of a wide range of goods.
One of the strengths of Groningen Seaports is its excellent accessibility, by water, rail, road, and by inland waterway connections. Both ports are strategically located within North West Europe, between the mainports Rotterdam and Hamburg. The accessibility of the ports is outstanding, with a considerable water depth. Due to the uncongested roads, uncongested ports and efficient logistics, waiting times are minimal.
