The Port of Strasbourg is the second largest inland port in France. With links to the great sea ports of Rotterdam, Antwerp, Le Havre and Marseille via the Rhine and the railway network, and thanks to its high performance facilities, it constitutes a multimodal transport hub. Three hundred and fifty companies that provide 10,000 jobs in the region are based on the 1,360 hectares that the port installations cover (mainly in Strasbourg, but also in Lauterbourg, Beinheim and Marckolsheim).

In its 8 variable-level basins, the Port Autonome de Strasbourg can accommodate all types of powered craft and multiple barge convoy sets navigating the Rhine. The constant-level basins are accessible to vessels 110 m in length. The port is also linked to the Marne-Rhine and Rhône-Rhine canals. The container terminal North can accommodate 4-layer container ships. The platforms in Lauterbourg and Marckolsheim are river ports situated on the banks of the Rhine and the Great Alsace Canal respectively.
The port of Strasbourg is ideally connected to the main high-speed rail network. Situated close to the border with Germany, it can be accessed from the German network via a section of track on the border that enjoys simplified regulations. With its network of 110 km of tracks and its marshalling yard, it has an efficient infrastructure at its disposal capable of accommodating full trains up to 720 m in length. The platforms at Lauterbourg and Marckolsheim are also linked to the rail network.

Its city centre, listed as a UNESCO world heritage of humanity site, and its European institutions like the European Parliament, make Strasbourg a tourist town of the first order. This is why the port allows close to 1,000 cruising vessels per annum to berth at its 10 landing stages, accounting for more than 150,000 visitors.
For tours of the city centre and the European Parliament, Batorama's river cruisers or bateaux-mouches accommodated nearly 800,000 visitors in 2013, which makes it the leading fee-paying tourist attraction in Alsace and the ninth placed attraction in France
