The Port of Antwerp

Antwerp is Europe's most central seaport. Sea-going vessels can transport goods 80 kilometers inland, into the heart of Europe. This means that transport via the Port of Antwerp to European customers and factories is not only quick and cheap, it is also very ecological. It means less road transport, which is an important consideration for many manufacturers. With its excellent hinterland connections, all product types can be safely and quickly transported from and to the other European countries via rail transport, road transport, barges and pipes. In 2015, the 200 million tonnes milestone was passed. The port performed significantly better than its direct competitors in North-West Europe.
