Logistics

Attractive logistics location
The Netherlands is centrally situated in Western Europe and has ideal preconditions to optimize European logistics activities, such as a skilled, flexible and multilingual workforce, logistics expertise and favourable customs and taxation procedures. When looked at individually, The Netherlands has the highest score globally for customs performance, infrastructure, international shipments and logistics competence. Half of all American and Asian European logistics centres located in Europe are in the Netherlands.

Excellent logistics performance
The Amsterdam Airport Area plays a major role in the total logistics supply chain. Amsterdam Airport Schiphol is the third-largest airport in Europe in terms of cargo (1.5 million tonnes in 2010). Growth in airborne freight and the high level of service offered by Amsterdam Airport Schiphol have attracted a cluster of high-quality distribution and logistics companies. Synergies are created by an interconnected Airport-Seaport complex: the Port of Amsterdam is an important port complex, the forth-largest in Northwestern Euorpe in terms of transhipment tonnage.

New developments
Due to the ever-increasing growth in freight, new plans are being developed to improve transport flows further in the Amsterdam Airport Area. One of these new plans is a dedicated freight lane as part of Amsterdam Connecting Trade (ACT), in which transport via road, rail and air are brought together between Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, Aalsmeer and Hoofddorp.
