The port of Antwerp
continues to expand. By
focusing on intensive
collaboration and
sustainable enterprise, the
port is able to ensure a
balance between ecology
Inland location naturally
equals a lower carbon
footprint
Fuel savings and
emissions reduction
Vessel2Vessel,
Vessel2Barge,
Barge2Vessel helps
reduce carbon footprint
Locks using wind energy
Cranes operating on
solar energy
Solar panels on
warehouse roofs
Tugs using low sulphur
fuel
Growing
together
Transport of project cargo
is bound to increase
With the rise in population growth
worldwide, the demand for raw
materials and energy infrastructure
is only set to increase. Estimates
show that countries outside of
the OECD will see energy demand
grow by nearly 60% by 2040.
Oil, gas and coal will be the top
energy sources, accounting for
60% of global demand by then.
Renewable energy is also playing
an increasingly important role. In
Europe particularly, the offshore
wind power industry is aiming to
reach ambitious targets by 2020.
Capacity to cope with
growing demand
Over the next 15 years, the
Antwerp Port Authority will invest
no less than 1.6 billion euros in
infrastructure and mobility. These
investments will not only guarantee
shipping access, with among other
things a second lock on the left
bank, but will also improve the
hinterland connections. The private
investments in the port are even of
a bigger magnitude. Combined they
will make sure all your requests
for capacity, cutting-edge handling
techniques and seamless operations
are met.
