Antwerp-Bruges terminal upgrade gets underway

[ October 7, 2022   //   ]

Port of Antwerp-Bruges and PSA Antwerp have given the green light for the renewal of the quayside and terminal at Europa Terminal. The works, which will take about nine years and be carried out in three phases, will ensure that the latest generation of container ships can continue to call.

Europa Terminal was inaugurated in 1990 as the first tidal container terminal in Antwerp. The renewal work, which will cost €335 million,  will increase the depth of vessels that can moor at the 1,200-metre quayside from 13.5 metres to 16 metres. Because ships must be able to continue to moor during the upgrade, work will be spread over about nine years.
