Focus on logistics projects for fast moving goods
Port of Antwerp-Bruges is expanding the Maritime Logistics Zone in phases, aiming to generate additional maritime cargo for the terminals in the outer port and provide space for businesses in a forward-looking environment.

- High and heavy: The presence of specialised terminal facilities for oversized and heavy cargo ensures smooth handling and transportation.
The tendering process will begin on 27 February 2025 and close on 9 May 2025. Interested parties can get more information and register at: https://www.portofantwerpbruges.com/en/maritime-logistics-zone.
