The port of Antwerp offers numerous advantages.

The combination of a highly-trained labour force and the most modern handling techniques ensures the high productivity and excellent service for which the port is known and valued around the world.

The port of Antwerp plays a crucial role in the logistics chain, doing everything to work on-target, on-time and on-budget.

Freight handlers who want to reinforce their competitive position while compressing costs and reducing transport times make Antwerp their strategic choice.

The port of Antwerp is more than just a European transit point for freight. As a crucial link in the supply chain it is the partner of choice for large logistics companies and leading service groups that concentrate on shipping freight, transport, storage, distribution and added-value activities.

As Europe’s logistics hub, the Antwerp region offers sufficient space for anyone wishing to set up regional, European or even world distribution centres.

The port offers more than 5.3 million square metres of storage space. Of all the European ports, Antwerp is by far the largest provider of warehousing, with more covered storage space than all other ports in North-West Europe together.

Thanks to these extensive, specialised storage facilities, companies are able to hold buffer stocks, allowing them to react flexibly to the requirements of their overseas and inland customers.

Antwerp's reputation as a fast port is due in large measure to its flexible dock labour system. The shift system keeps the port continuously operational, day and night, 365 days per year.
