Transport <strong>of</strong> <strong>project</strong> <strong>cargo</strong><br />

is bound to <strong>in</strong>crease<br />

With the rise <strong>in</strong> population growth<br />

worldwide, the demand for raw<br />

materials and energy <strong>in</strong>frastructure<br />

is only set to <strong>in</strong>crease. Estimates<br />

show that countries outside <strong>of</strong><br />

the OECD will see energy demand<br />

grow by nearly 60% by 2040.<br />

Oil, gas and coal will be the top<br />

energy sources, account<strong>in</strong>g for<br />

60% <strong>of</strong> global demand by then.<br />

Renewable energy is also play<strong>in</strong>g<br />

an <strong>in</strong>creas<strong>in</strong>gly important role. In<br />

Europe particularly, the <strong>of</strong>fshore<br />

w<strong>in</strong>d power <strong>in</strong>dustry is aim<strong>in</strong>g to<br />

reach ambitious targets by 2020.<br />

Capacity to cope with<br />

grow<strong>in</strong>g demand<br />

Over the next 15 years, the<br />

<strong>Antwerp</strong> <strong>Port</strong> Authority will <strong>in</strong>vest<br />

no less than 1.6 billion euros <strong>in</strong><br />

<strong>in</strong>frastructure and mobility. These<br />

<strong>in</strong>vestments will not only guarantee<br />

shipp<strong>in</strong>g access, with among other<br />

th<strong>in</strong>gs a second lock on the left<br />

bank, but will also improve the<br />

h<strong>in</strong>terland connections. The private<br />

<strong>in</strong>vestments <strong>in</strong> the port are even <strong>of</strong><br />

a bigger magnitude. Comb<strong>in</strong>ed they<br />

will make sure all <strong>your</strong> requests<br />

for capacity, cutt<strong>in</strong>g-edge handl<strong>in</strong>g<br />
