Mainz is a major transport hub in southern Germany. It is an important component in European distribution, as it has the fifth largest inter-modal port in Germany. The [[Port of Mainz]], now handling mainly containers, is a sizable industrial area to the north of the city, along the banks of the Rhine. In order to open up space along the city's riverfront for residential development, it was shifted further northwards in 2010.<ref name="Schug-2009">{{cite news |last=Schug |first=Markus |title=Ingelheimer Aue: Im Hafen kommt fast alles in die Kiste |website=[[FAZ.NET]] |date=7 May 2009 |url=https://www.faz.net/aktuell/rhein-main/region-und-hessen/ingelheimer-aue-im-hafen-kommt-fast-alles-in-die-kiste-1800165.html |language=de |access-date=31 January 2023 |archive-date=31 January 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230131140850/https://www.faz.net/aktuell/rhein-main/region-und-hessen/ingelheimer-aue-im-hafen-kommt-fast-alles-in-die-kiste-1800165.html |url-status=live }}</ref>
