Central location Antwerp Port
The port of Antwerp is the largest sea port in Belgium and the second port in Europe, after Rotterdam.
In 2014, the port of Antwerp had a throughput of more than 199 million tonnes. For general cargo, Antwerp is one of the largest ports in Europe; for transshipment of bulk cargo, it is less important.
The port of Antwerp is connected to the North Sea via the Westerschelde. The port of Antwerp plays an important role in international trade. It is located deep inland, which significantly reduces the distances to be laid for rail or road transport.
Antwerp stands at the upper end of the tidal estuary of the Scheldt. The estuary is navigable by ships of more than 100,000 Gross Tons as far as 80 km inland. The inland location means that the port of Antwerp enjoys a more central location in Europe than the majority of North Sea ports. Antwerp`s docks are connected to the hinterland by rail, waterway and road.
As a result the port of Antwerp has become one of Europe`s largest sea ports, ranking second behind Rotterdam by total freight shipped.[1] Its international rankings vary from 11th to 20th (AAPA). In 2009, the Port of Antwerp handled 157,800,000 MT of trade[2] and offered liner services to 800 different maritime destinations.
