About This Seaport
50.1 million tonnes of seaborne cargo passed through the North Sea Port group in the first nine months of 2025, about 1% below the year before, with dry and liquid bulk holding steady. Vlissingen (NL VLI) is the seaward gate of that cross-border group, which also spans Terneuzen in the Netherlands and Ghent in Belgium. Its roughly 20 berths and nine terminals cover general and project cargo, ro-ro, containers, LPG, coal transhipment and tankers, handling breakbulk, paper and cellulose, timber, steel, fruit and frozen produce, drinks and cars. Bow Terminal, already established in Vlissingen, has taken on the expanded site of the former Bulk Terminal Zeeland after North Sea Port reallocated it. The Western Scheldt and a dense inland-waterway network connect the port to the Belgian and Dutch interior, backed by road and rail, while customs and import handling benefit from the North Sea Port structure. Containers remain a minor line of business here, so for box volumes and deeper draft Antwerp and Rotterdam are the primary alternatives, with Terneuzen and Ghent covering bulk.
