On Thursday 1 September, RheinPorts and Portbase signed a joint agreement to expand the digital infrastructure along the Rhine-Alpine corridor and to connect all the port communities involved with each other as much as possible through data.
RheinPorts is the result of a merger of three ports: Duisport – Duisburger Hafen, Ports de Mulhouse-Rhin and Schweizerische Rheinhäfen – Port of Switzerland.
More than half of the transport volumes between Switzerland and Rotterdam are handled by inland shipping, a third by rail and only 1 percent by truck.
