About This Seaport
Container volumes held nearly flat in 2025 while bulk slid: Antwerp (BE ANR) handled about 13.6 million TEU, up 0.7% in boxes, against total maritime throughput of 266.5 million tonnes, down 4.1%. That keeps the Scheldt port second only to Rotterdam among Europe's container gateways. Its signature is the largest integrated chemical cluster in Europe — basic chemicals, chemical gases and biofuels account for a substantial share of throughput. Antwerp is also a leading centre for conventional breakbulk, steel, project cargo and vehicle handling, and Port of Antwerp-Bruges set a reefer record in 2025. Roughly 25 days of industrial action cost an estimated 2.4 million tonnes that year, about 1% of annual throughput, on top of prolonged container-terminal congestion. More than 1,400 companies operate in the port area, supporting about 164,000 direct and indirect jobs. Hinterland connectivity is among Europe's strongest, with rail, road, inland barge and pipelines reaching deep into Germany, France and the Rhine basin. Container release runs on the digital Certified Pick Up system, while customs is handled by Belgian authorities under EU rules. Depending on the service, Rotterdam, Hamburg or Zeebrugge (now part of Port of Antwerp-Bruges) are the main alternatives for north-west European volumes.
