Petrochemical refineries, deep-water tank terminals and ore jetties define Europoort, an industrial section of the Port of Rotterdam at the mouth of the Rhine and Meuse. Because there are no locks or tidal gates, the area handles the very largest crude carriers alongside its liquid-bulk storage. Dry-bulk flows of iron ore and coal, car terminals and breakbulk berths round out the mix, while most pure container volume is handled at the adjacent Maasvlakte. P&O Ferries runs a RoRo service from Europoort to Hull several times a week, useful for accompanied and unaccompanied freight to the UK. Hinterland reach is exceptional, with motorways, the dedicated Betuwe freight railway and inland barge links extending into Germany and Switzerland. Forwarders moving petroleum, chemicals or dry bulk will find Europoort directly relevant; for boxed cargo, the Maasvlakte terminals or Antwerp are the practical alternatives.
