For over three decades, we’ve been connecting Antwerp’s terminals with the European hinterland. Our extensive network of barge and rail shuttles ensures your containers reach their destination quickly and efficiently.

At PSA Antwerp, we orchestrate your entire logistics flow—from receiving transport orders and arranging physical transport (including first or last mile transport in the hinterland), to handling customs documentation—ensuring a seamless end-to-end flow.

Through our Container Yard (CY) concept, we work closely with our hinterland partners to create a more sustainable, reliable, and efficient supply chain. Experience the difference with PSA Hinterland Connectivity products today!

Benefits

Whether you're a shipping line, logistics provider, freight forwarder, or cargo owner – PSA’s hinterland shuttle services offer you a smart, seamless link between Antwerp’s deepsea terminals and the European hinterland.

By connecting deepsea terminals with the hinterland, you’ll benefit from:

Limited dwell times

Your containers will receive first class treatment. Upon arrival at our deepsea terminal, we immediately set them aside and book your import box on the next available barge or rail connection — helping your shipment reach its destination up to 2 days faster on average.

Accurate follow up

We closely track your containers from the moment they arrive at our deepsea or hinterland terminal. For export shipments, we align container arrival with cargo opening times and the vessel's actual arrival time.

Single point of contact

Questions about your shipment? At PSA Antwerp, you'll have a single dedicated point of contact, coordinating the entire logistics flow from start to finish.

Sustainable & Reliable

By choosing barge and rail transport, you’re opting for more sustainable solutions with significantly lower CO2 emissions. Plus, these modes are less prone to delays compared to road transport, offering more reliability and predictable schedules.

 

First & last mile transport

Looking for door-to-door convenience? We offer first and last mile transports to and from the hinterland terminals.

Value-Added services

We offer a range of integrated value added services at the (hinterland) terminals, including empty container cleaning, fumigation and warehousing.
