We specialize in handling and storage of agribulk and house the largest bio related production cluster in Europe. Due to its exceptional geographical situation and the availability of industrial waterfront plots the port is strategically positioned to act as a production and distribution centre for servicing the major European consumer markets by sea, road, rail and inland waterways.
