Situated at a strategic juncture where barge routes converge, the city of Lelystad occupies a pivotal position in the intricate web of waterways that link the Port of Amsterdam to the broader expanse of Europe via river routes. Recognizing the critical importance of seamless inland transport to the European supply chain, the prospect of establishing an inland port within Lelystad’s precinct emerged as a compelling opportunity.
With a clear vision of the substantial value that such a facility could bring to the region, the Province of Flevoland assumed a leadership role in championing the integration and financing of this ambitious undertaking. Beyond the immediate economic advantages, this visionary initiative was embraced for its potential to enhance regional connectivity, bolster the logistical efficiency of the European supply chain, and stimulate economic growth in a broader context.
STIG, as a key contributor to this transformative venture, played a pivotal role in devising strategic solutions and facilitating the realization of this inland port, aligning seamlessly with our commitment to fostering sustainable development and economic empowerment.
