Shipping to Mannheim and the Rhine-Neckar
Mannheim lies where the Neckar meets the Rhine and has one of Europe's largest inland ports. Together with Ludwigshafen and Heidelberg it forms the Rhine-Neckar metropolitan region, an industrial area home to large chemical and engineering companies.
The Mannheim destination suits consignees in Ludwigshafen, Worms, Speyer and the Bergstrasse. Commercial cargo for factories in the region is often cleared by a customs broker at the inland terminal, so have the importer's EORI number ready.
Mannheim's grid-plan city centre, known as the Quadrate, is compact and easy to navigate, but parking for a truck is limited; collecting at the terminal is often simplest. The A6, A61 and A656 motorways connect the region, so consignees in the Palatinate and northern Baden can reach Mannheim quickly.
Mannheim's university and its business school attract international students and staff, while BASF in neighbouring Ludwigshafen is one of the largest chemical sites in the world, generating many commercial shipments.
