About This Seaport

Some 8.67 kilometres of quays line the Brussels–Scheldt Maritime Canal as it crosses the Belgian capital from north to south, forming Belgium's second-largest inland port. The waterway accommodates maritime and fluvial vessels of up to 4,500 tonnes and handled around 6.26 million tonnes of cargo in 2024, including construction materials, steel, cereals, petroleum products and containers. Roughly 4,500 inland barges and 300 seagoing ships call annually, just five sailing hours from the Port of Antwerp. The port cluster hosts about 350 companies and supports nearly 8,000 jobs directly or indirectly, while anchoring low-emission urban logistics for the city. Deep-sea container services do not call here; boxes arrive by barge feeder from Antwerp. For building materials, bulk and city-centre distribution by inland waterway, Brussels is a valuable link.
