It is situated at the right bank of the river Rhine. It has two docks called dock 1 and dock 2 and a turning basin The three container terminals are being expanded to increase the port’s capacity and attract foreign investment The construction of this port began in 1919 when the port basin was being dug up and in 1922 manual labour was used to dig the 2nd harbour basin The Harbour Basin 1 became operational on 2nd August 1922 cranes were brought in and buildings for the shipping companies were constructed till 1924 The 2nd Harbour Basin was built from 1936 to 1939 The silo tower called Bernoullisilo was constructed in 1923 and its platform gives a picturesque view of the port This port undertakes transhipment of goods Facilities for storing dry cargo such as aluminium liquid fuels and propellants are available It is directly connected to the motorways as well the Basel Cantons and the Swiss Government laid out a plan to expand the main port area A new third basin would be built at the Kleinhuningen port This would increase the port’s handling capacity and integrate it into the key international shipping lines this port specialises in storing steel and is linked to the major factories in the region It has facilities for some pharma companies and also production spaces for steel manufacturers nearby It is directly connected by railways which greatly eases the cargo handling operations at the port Further plans to expand the port include a ‘shipping action plan for southern ports’ which aims to establish a new southern railway link to the port railways The land of the port is owned by the canton of Basel Landschaft This Birsfeldon municipality along with Rhine Ports aims to modernize the port and increase its trade potential There are plans to refurbish the southern part of this port however the presence of tank farms make it a difficult task both the authorities have decided to shift the tank farms to the port of Muttenz-Auhafen and to decrease their number at the Birsfeldon port The port of Muttenz-Au was constructed between 1937 and 1940 and underwent a series of expansions It has a huge storage capacity for liquid fuels and propellants that are also transshipped from here to the neighbouring ports This port has two terminals that are near each other. Terminal 1 is the smallest of the two and has a huge warehouse for storing dry bulk Terminal 2 has storage facilities and is the only tank for organic storage in the Basel port the port of Auhafen Muttenz Basel installed a new system for unloading and storing biomass in tanks and silos The electro-hydraulic clamshell grab is powered by four hydraulic cylinders These grabs can work even at sloping platforms without any breaks The installation of these new high tech machinery has increased the biomass handling capacity of the Muttenz-Auhafen Port Basel is also a famous tourist destination The city has a rich history and many cultural sites Cruise ships depart from here and so this city has a modern passenger terminal too The port has around 20 platforms that can easily handle 1200 ships annually About 1,50,000 tourists visit this port every year Trade fairs are also organised which attracts many companies The first port in Basel was constructed between 1906-1911 on the left Rhine bank in St Johann It handled and stored grains and dry bulk cargo The St Johann Port was the oldest but it stopped operations in 2010 and then the port facilities and storage spaces were demolished the buildings of the medical company Novartis are situated here the Rhine Promenade was completed after nine years of planning The esplanade measures 600 meters and has a wall separating the two levels The upper portion runs along with the campus of Novartis pharma and also has a small park and benches which give a beautiful view of the sea The lower level has exit lanes and also showering spaces for swimmers on the side an adjacent wall and small benches all painted with natural colours showing the flow of the Rhine river This infrastructure has made Port Johann a famous picnic spot The Port of Zurich functions as a container port and is situated at the northern banks of Zurich lake The port handles about 10% of cargo imports to Switzerland It exports vintage cars and automobiles to western Europe The importance of this port can be gauged from the fact that it is situated in Zurich The Swiss Government has undertaken major expansion projects to increase the capacity of the Swiss Rhine ports The ‘Basel Gateway Nord’ container terminal would be linked to a third basin in the Rhine These expansion projects are estimated to double the container traffic to Swiss ports 390,000 containers could be handled compared to the present capacity of 100,000 the Swiss Rhine ports are a major contributor to the economy The flourishing import and export trade of the country coupled with growing revenues from its tourism sector has made Switzerland one of the biggest economies of Europe with enormous potential Disclaimer : The information contained in this website is for general information purposes only While we endeavour to keep the information up to date and correct we make no representations or warranties of any kind suitability or availability with respect to the website or the information or related graphics contained on the website for any purpose Any reliance you place on such information is therefore strictly at your own risk In no event will we be liable for any loss or damage including without limitation or any loss or damage whatsoever arising from loss of data or profits arising out of Do you have info to share with us ?

the "H2 Hub Switzerland" Their vision is not only to distribute the hydrogen using the existing infrastructure store and make the ecological energy available on site The tank storage company Avia AG and the energy company Varo Energy Holding AG are already important players in the Rhine ports Varo operates two tank farms in Birsfelden Its core business is the handling and storage of various fuels Hydrogen will increasingly be part of their business together with other member companies of the Avia Association is focusing on hydrogen as a filling station operator Avia is expanding the business field accordingly a company is on board that has been focusing on CO2-neutral energy for many years and is an expert in the production of renewable energy IWB founded GreenH2 AG together with the gas station operator and Fritz Meyer AG The joint venture aims to build hydrogen production plants and promote their use as part of the switch to renewable energies The vision "H2 Hub Switzerland" is now being jointly launched and formulated the definition of the long-term role of the ports and the local distribution between the sites the four partners want to create essential prerequisites for the development of the "H2 Hub Switzerland" they have set the basis in a joint declaration of intent they want to test hydrogen applications soon: use of hydrogen-powered trucks installation of the first hydrogen storage tanks and construction of refueling stations for rail Hydrogen is to be produced at the Augst power plant
