Basel Port Overview

Basel is Switzerland’s main inland port and a critical hub for multimodal logistics. Its strategic location on the Rhine River allows seamless integration with European transport networks. Key features include:

  1. River Access
    Basel is the furthest navigable point on the Rhine, linking to major North Sea ports such as Rotterdam and Antwerp.

  2. Multimodal Connectivity
    The port offers excellent connectivity via rail, road, and river. Goods can be transported efficiently to various Swiss regions or other parts of Europe.

  3. Customs and Handling Facilities
    Basel’s port facilities ensure smooth customs clearance and professional handling of shipments. Switzerland’s non-EU status means additional customs documentation may be required, but the process is well-supported by Basel’s infrastructure.
