Aims of the logisticsplatform

General purpose


Improving the international logistical infrastructure of the Amsterdam Port / Airport Area.

a. industries / shippers
The Logistic Platform for the industry / shippers has been set up in the year 2000 by Ahold, Corus, Amsterdam Port Authority. It concentrates on the set up of Practical cooperation projects of industries / shippers.
Policy implications of these practical projects, such as for example requests for additional infrastructure, are not the subject of the Logistic Platform. This is the subject of other organisations in the Amsterdam Port Airport Area.

  • development of door to door logistical systems in the main logistical corridors of the participants
  • development and implementation of innovative logistical solutions
