The Netherlands’ strong position in terms of logistics is due to the<br />
favourable geographic location of the country, at the heart of Europe;<br />
a sound infrastructure that includes the Port of Rotterdam, the Port of<br />
Amsterdam, Amsterdam Airport Schiphol; and a sophisticated logistics<br />
sector. This is reflected in the World Bank Logistics Performance Index<br />
2014, where the Netherlands is ranked second. The Netherlands came out<br />
on top in terms of the efficiency and effectiveness of its Customs and<br />
other border procedures, the quality of its transport and IT infrastructure<br />
for logistics, the ease of use and affordability of its shipping, and the level<br />
of professionalism in the Dutch logistics industry.<br />
