Marknesse is a village in the Noordoostpolder, Flevoland, Netherlands. It is important to note that Marknesse itself is not known for having a significant Marine Port facility of its own. Instead, the Noordoostpolder region is primarily known for its agricultural reclaimed land and not as a key maritime or shipping hub.
