Intermodal transport

Port Esbjerg is one of the Nordic’s major intermodal hubs. Around 4 million tonnes of cargo pass through the port each year before being transported onwards by road, rail and sea.

The port is directly accessible by the E20 motorway and the rail network. Esbjerg Airport is 15 minutes away by car.

Additionally, Port Esbjerg is the leading RoRo port in Denmark. The port is connected to more than 28 ports in Northern Europe and on the Mediterranean Sea via six regular RoRo liner services.

With a water depth of 12.2 metres, Port Esbjerg can accommodate deep-sea vessels and provide direct access to global markets.

Furthermore, Port Esbjerg is Denmark’s leading port in terms of car imports. In 2025, more than 53,000 new cars were imported through Port Esbjerg.

With short distances between quays, terminals, rail, and road, Port Esbjerg offers efficient cargo handling, seamless modal shifts, and minimal rehandling. The Border Inspection Post is strategically located at the heart of operations to support smooth cargo flows.
