The Port of Rotterdam has been functioning as a gateway to the European market for over 350 million consumers for years. With the annual throughput of 450 mln tn of cargo it is Europe's largest seaport and one of the largest logistic and industrial hubs worldwide. The port ranges over 40 km and covers about 12,500 ha (incl. The newly built Maasvlakte 2).

Rotterdam gained its leading position due to its location, the hinterland connections as well as companies and organisations operating the within port area and its industrial complex.

The port has been growing gradually for a few decades. To remain its top position and be able to meet the future's demand, in 2008 started the construction of Maasvlakte 2. Extension encompasses an area of approx. 1,000 ha of industrial sites. This will became a new home for many port opeations and related industries.
