Top TRANSPORT AND LOGISTICS Companies in Netherlands
Approximately 228,669 real businesses classified under Transportation and Storage in Netherlands, with officer, shareholder and beneficial ownership records sourced directly from official government registries.
Approximately 228,669 real businesses operate in the Transportation and Storage sector across Netherlands. A shipping line rarely operates under one legal entity per country — it operates through a network of local agency and subsidiary structures, because freight is inherently cross-border and the paperwork follows the cargo. Road, rail, air, and sea transport, plus logistics, warehousing, and courier services, all carry this same structural feature: the entity issuing the invoice and the entity holding the assets are frequently two different companies in two different jurisdictions.
223 companies in this sector are indexed on Zavia so far, part of a continually growing dataset.
Beneficial-ownership and registration rules for Transportation and Storage companies in Netherlands follow the same national framework as every other sector there.

Analysis
What this data actually tells you
Transportation and Storage in the Netherlands is licensed activity administered by NIWO (Nationale en Internationale Wegvervoer Organisatie), the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management’s designated licensing authority for road haulage. Any company professionally transporting goods for a third party’s account, using vehicles with a loading capacity over 500kg, needs a Eurovergunning (Euro permit), valid for both domestic and cross-border EU transport and renewable every five years — granted only where the company has an actual establishment, proven creditworthiness, a named transport manager holding the required professional diploma, and overall trustworthiness.
The licence carries real, checkable costs: €235 to obtain, a €28.35 certificate fee, and a €23.70 annual levy per licence certificate. For verification, a Dutch haulier’s company registration says nothing about its actual authority to transport goods — that sits with NIWO, and confirming both the Eurovergunning’s existence and its renewal currency is necessary to know whether the operator is legally allowed to be moving goods at all.

Who uses Netherlands transportation and storage ownership data
The three checks this sector's data is most often run for.
Eurovergunning verification
Any Dutch company professionally transporting goods by road for a third party, with vehicles carrying over 500kg, needs a Eurovergunning (Euro permit) from NIWO — renewable every 5 years, conditional on an actual establishment, creditworthiness, a qualified transport manager and trustworthiness.
NIWO licence-fee verification
A Eurovergunning costs €235 to obtain, plus a €28.35 certificate fee and a €23.70 annual levy per certificate — real, checkable figures against a haulier’s claimed licensing status and fleet scale.
Fleet-financing and asset-backed lending
Transport companies’ core assets are typically financed vehicles rather than owned outright, so lenders and counterparties assessing exposure in the sector typically look past the balance sheet to who actually holds title to the fleet.
