Accessibility Statement

NL SHIPPING B.V. makes every effort to ensure that its website and digital services are accessible in accordance with the European Accessibility Act and the WCAG 2.1 guidelines at AA level.

Compliance Status

The website www.nl-shipping.com is partially compliant with WCAG 2.1 level AA requirements due to some exceptions described below.

Measures to Ensure Accessibility

In order to ensure accessibility, the following solutions have been implemented on the website:

  • The website can be fully operated using a keyboard.
  • Visible focus indicators during navigation.
  • Appropriate color contrast (minimum 4.5:1).

  • Predictable and consistent behavior of interactive elements.
  • Forms with labels, instructions, and error messages.
  • Full responsiveness (desktop, laptop, tablet, smartphone).
  • Clear, simple, and understandable language.

Exceptions

  • There is a short video in the header (hero) section showing footage of the port. This material is for aesthetic purposes only and does not contain informational or verbal content.
    For this reason, captions or audio descriptions have not been provided.
  • There is also a video on the website showing aerial shots with background music. This video does not contain any essential verbal or visual content.
    No captions or audio descriptions have been provided due to its purely visual character.
  • Some PDF files may be inaccessible; if you encounter problems reading them, please contact us for an alternative version.
