The rest of the world is reached through weekly feeder connections between Aarhus and continental ports. The road network to the motorways is well-developed.
With 3 x 400m on-dock rail tracks, APM Terminals Aarhus operates a dedicated fast rail service between Aarhus and the Taulov rail terminal. The service, which has a 3-hour transit time offers 4-6 weekly departures, with plans and capacity to increase this in line with growing demand.
