Your question refers to how to reach Basel by the river Rhine, right? The answer is: Yes, Basel is an inland port of the river Rhine. The nearest sea port to reach Basel by ship is Rotterdam in the Netherlands, the two cities are 832 kms apart. There are regular cargo ship connections between both cities; cruise ships, however, usually sail from Antwerp in Belgium. As an example (just in reverse direction), see here: http://www.vikingrivercruises.com/us/cruises/SWIBEL/08BSLANR14/VSN/itinerary.aspx
To let you have an idea of Basel's port: There is a website of the Basel port authority; it's unfortunately in German and describes only the cargo part of the port: http://www.portofbasel.ch/

The nearest sea port for Basel would be Genova/Italy in a 478 kilometer (297 mile) distance. Most goods exported are taken by truck to Genova and shipped from there.
