Mission

The Netherlands is increasingly becoming a global logistics hub, with transport by water, road, and rail continuing to grow. The mission of Port of Zwolle is to help the region grow in alignment with these developments.

Vision

The logistics market is placing ever-higher demands on transport. As a result, regions must adapt to changing transport flows. Core values such as quality, flexibility, continuity, sustainability, and reliability have become essential in the logistics sector. That is why Port of Zwolle is working to be a port of the future, today.

About the Foundation

The official name of our port authority is Port of Zwolle Coöperatie U.A., an independently operating cooperative. It is a company founded by its members: the cooperating municipalities of Kampen, Meppel, and Zwolle. These members oversee the cooperative.

The daily management of the port authority is handled by Jeroen van den Ende (Managing Director). If you have any questions or would like more information or prompt assistance at one of the ports, please contact the responsible harbor master.
