An international logistics hub is an inland terminal that links deep-sea ports to their hinterland with more than one mode of transport. Maasterminal Maastricht sits on the Juliana Canal in the heart of the Euregio, within reach of the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and France, with barge, rail and road on one site and freight forwarding through sister company SLE Global Logistics. What a shipment costs depends on the modality mix, the distance and the handling involved; the hub's job is to make that mix cheaper than trucking it all the way.

For freight forwarders and shippers this position does concrete work: seaport congestion stays at the seaport, cargo consolidates here, and the last leg runs exactly when the site or factory needs it.

Every shipment gets one coordinating team: the same people who run the steel, container and breakbulk operations on the ground.

With SLE Global Logistics

Forwarding, customs and ocean freight — one team with the terminal

For freight forwarding, customs clearance and international shipping we work with our sister company SLE Global Logistics. Their network handles the border-crossing paperwork and the ocean legs; our terminal does the physical work. You get one answer for the whole chain, from a single shipment to a continental distribution setup.

Modal shift is the sustainability lever here: moving freight from road to barge and rail cuts CO₂ per ton-kilometer while keeping schedules reliable. It is how the whole terminal is designed to work.
