'Expansion of Twente Canals and Increased Quay Capacity Enhance Water Transport'
By expanding the quay and widening the Twente canals, the accessibility of the XL Businesspark "Port of Twente" will be significantly improved. This development fully meets the Dutch government’s aim to shift more transport to waterways and reduce road traffic in the region.
According to Jan Geerdink, project director of Port of Twente – XL Businesspark, “class 5a ships,” which can carry up to 110 containers at a time, will soon be able to dock here. “Currently, that capacity is roughly half. Expanding the quay addresses the need for additional container transshipment capacity. This represents a substantial improvement. Without the support from the Regio Deal Twente and the Province of Overijssel, we would not have been able to expand the quay and establish daily departures to and from Rotterdam,” Geerdink notes.
