4.4 Port of Zeebrugge4.4.1 Significant facts in 2002 53• ContextBetween 1974 and 1984, the port of Zeebrugge underwent large-scale expansion with the construction of a newouter port, sea lock and inner port. These changes have ensured that the port is now capable of accommodatingvessels with a much greater draught and increased tonnage. Modern and spacious terminals have been installed,considerably increasing the transhipment capacity. In 2002, cargo traffic reached nearly 33 million tonnes, morethan double the figure recorded in 1985, a pivotal year. Three-quarters of the cargo handled are unit cargo: newcars, containers and trailers.Over recent years, the port of Zeebrugge has transformed itself from a simple transit port into a logistics platformwhere value is added to cargo prior to distribution. The volume of ro-ro traffic fell by 4.9 p.c. in 2002, while thetonnage of cargo transported by container once again reached the peak achieved in 2000: nearly 12 milliontonnes (+ 12.1 p.c.). Moreover, Zeebrugge is underlining its position as the European leader in unaccompaniedro-ro freight traffic.• IndustryIn 2002, the American fruit juice manufacturer Tropicana built a new production unit alongside the USA-Kaai.Antwerp's mobile scanner is made available to the Zeebrugge port authorities on a regular basis. Inter FerryBoats (IFB) began construction work on a new cross docking station. Bridgestone Firestone Europe (BFE)expanded the inner port warehouse and Middlegate Europe acquired a new warehouse with offices, in the port'stransport zone.• InfrastructureIn order to improve the integration of the port into the logistics chain from and towards the hinterland, the portauthorities have created a structure enabling the transportation of containers by rail and by coastal or inlandwaters to be better organised: PortConnect.In the outer port, work on the Leopold II dam continued as part of the sixth phase of renovation of the Kaaimuur(Wielingendok). The development of the Noordelijk Insteekdok has been completed. On 22 November, theFlemish Region authorised the deepening of the channel towards the port of Zeebrugge, as part of theprogramme entitled « 55/46 feet 54 ».5354Sources: Maatschappij van de Brugse Zeevaartinrichtingen Annual Report 2002 and Vlaamse Havencommissie AnnualReport 2002.55 feet correspond to approximately 16.7 m.56 NBB WORKING PAPER No.56 - JUNE 2004
