About This Seaport
Chemicals, containers, steel and cars define Antwerp, Europe's second-largest container port after Rotterdam: around 13.5 million TEU and 278 million tonnes in total crossed its Scheldt quays in 2024, with container volumes up 8.1% in TEU and 8.9% in tonnage and total throughput up 2.3%. Its signature is the largest integrated chemical cluster in Europe — basic chemicals, chemical gases and biofuels (the latter surging in 2024) account for a substantial share of throughput. Antwerp is also a leading centre for conventional breakbulk, steel, project cargo and vehicle handling. More than 1,400 companies operate in the port area, which supports 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 moved to the digital Certified Pick Up system in 2024, 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.
