Europort is a harbour of Rotterdam and the adjoining industrial area in the Netherlands. Being situated at the mouth of the rivers Rhine and Meuse with the hinterland consisting of the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium and partly France, Europort is one of the world's busiest ports and considered a major entry to Europe.
The Europort area is very heavily industrialised with petrochemical refineries and storage tanks. Bulk iron ore and coal handling; container and new motor vehicle terminals.
Over the years the port was further developed seaward by building new docks and harbour-basins. In the 1970s the port was extended into the sea at the south side of the mouth of the Nieuwe Waterweg by completion of the Maasvlakte (Meuse-plain), a large land reclamation area with even more refineries and storage tanks. This project was called Europort, literally the "Gate to Europe". Currently, plans are being developed to extend Europort even further seaward with the Tweede Maasvlakte (Second Meuse-plain).
In the past five years the industrialized skyline has been changed by the addition of large numbers of wind turbines taking advantage of the exposed coastal conditions.
The most important factor contributing to the large amount of cargo shipping in and out of Europort is the presence of the Meuse and Rhine rivers. Through these rivers, Europort is connected to the Ruhr Area in Germany as well as Switzerland, Belgium and France. Furthermore, Europort is connected to its rival, the port of Antwerp by the Rhine-Scheldt-canal. Adding to its transit-function, Rotterdam is connected to Germany by the A15 highway and a railway-network. In 2007, an extra railway connection (the Betuweroute) has been completed to create an extra connection to the Ruhr area.
The P&O passenger/car/lorry overnight ferry service to Hull, England, operates from Europort using the world's largest ferries: the Pride of Rotterdam and the Pride of Hull.
