About This Seaport

COSCO Shipping Ports anchors container operations at Zeebrugge, running a terminal whose three berths offer more than 1,200 metres of quay and around 17.5 metres of depth for roughly 1 million TEU of annual capacity; CSP holds about an 85% stake and its concession now runs to 2055. Container throughput rose from around 672,000 TEU in 2024 to about 894,200 TEU in 2025. Yet containers tell only part of the story: this Belgian North Sea port ranks among the world's leading handlers of new vehicles, moving millions of cars each year across its RoRo facilities, and it topped deepsea RoRo with 614 vessel calls in 2024. Since 2022 Zeebrugge has formed part of the merged Port of Antwerp-Bruges, pairing its automotive and LNG strengths with Antwerp's container volumes. In 2024 the ICO RoRo terminal gained 600 metres of additional quayside and the port introduced a 16.3-metre draught. The Fluxys LNG terminal makes Zeebrugge one of Europe's principal gas import points, with its latest expansion phase coming online in early 2025. Inland connections run by road, rail and waterway, including the Boudewijnkanaal towards Bruges. For freight forwarders, Zeebrugge suits RoRo, vehicle, reefer and project cargo, while pure container flows often route via nearby Antwerp. Antwerp and Rotterdam serve as container alternatives, with Vlissingen offering further RoRo capacity for UK trades.
