Red = stop Paragraphs Title Clear message Heading type H2 Text The new awareness campaign transmits a clear message: 'Red means stop. Always.' There are accidents every year, sometimes fatal, as was the case in 2024 at the crossing on Noorderlaan in Antwerp, when a truck driver lost his life after a collision with a locomotive.   There are about 1,000 kilometres of track in the Antwerp port area alone. In Zeebrugge, there are 130 kilometres, with a total of 20 level crossings. In 2024, there were 9 accidents at level crossings in both port areas. Text alignment Right Background color Transparent Media Zomerweg_2024 7 Title Master Plan for Safe Rail Crossings Heading type H2 Text To improve traffic safety , Port of Antwerp-Bruges is elaborating the "Master Plan for Safe Rail Crossings" in close consultation with stakeholders. This plan focuses on two key areas; visible and efficient quick wins, including road markings and signs, and structural interventions at high-risk level crossings where accidents are more frequent, such as the installation of gantries and traffic lights. The first interventions will begin this autumn.  Title Stay informed Heading type H2 Text Would you like to be automatically informed about all the goings on in our port?

Zuidnatie opens sustainable slitting centre Paragraphs Title Steel processing in a single location Heading type H2 Text Zuidnatie's new slitting centre responds to growing customer demand for integrated steel processing solutions. Heavy steel coils arriving by ship are now slit on-site and delivered straight to the end user , eliminating unnecessary transport, reducing CO₂ emissions, and increasing efficiency. Powered by rooftop solar panels, this project reflects the Port of Antwerp-Bruges’ vision of becoming a climate-neutral hub by 2050 . Text alignment Left Background color Transparent Media Zuidnatie_steel_service_center_2025 Title Largest investment in five years Heading type H2 Text Construction of the slitting centre was a considerable feat of engineering . Challenges included the overnight transport of a heavy overhead travelling crane and the installation of a 12-metre-deep well under the supervision of a diver. The 13.5-million-euro investment is the largest expenditure made by the Belgian family business in the past five years. With this strategic move , Zuidnatie is strengthening its role as a future-ready logistics partner. The new centre supports economic growth, job creation, and sustainable business in the port, and positions the company at the forefront of international steel and liquid bulk logistics.

In 2024, the US accounted for approximately 10% of the port’s total maritime cargo traffic, with a trade volume of 28 million tonnes. Both import and export took place on a large scale, with slightly more imports than exports.\n<ul>\n<li>\nContainer traffic was the largest segment in transatlantic trade, totaling over 14 million tonnes of goods. Exports from the port mainly consisted of auto and machinery parts, chemicals, vehicles, food, plastics, and pharmaceuticals. Imports from the US included plastics, polymers, chemicals, rubber, vehicles, and food products.\n</li>\n<li>\nLiquid bulk also played a significant role, accounting for over 10 million tonnes in 2024. The port primarily exported gas oil, fuel oil, and other chemicals, while large volumes of LPG, LNG, and naphtha were imported from the US.\n</li>\n<li>\nRoll-on/roll-off (RoRo) traffic also saw a strong flow: more than 280,000 vehicles were traded.

As of March 12, a 25% tariff applies to the import of steel, aluminum, and related products. On April 3, this was extended to cars and car parts from the EU, also with a 25% tariff. On June 4, the steel import tariff was raised to 50% of its value.\nAdditionally, on April 5, a general 10% levy was imposed on nearly all other EU goods, as part of the so-called “reciprocity policy.” This measure was initially set for a 90-day negotiation period, ending on July 9 but later extended to August 1.\nOn July 12, 2025, the US government announced that the import tariff on EU goods will be increased to 30% starting August 1. Simultaneously, negotiations continue in an effort to reach a trade agreement. The measure is part of a broader revision of US trade policy."{% endraw %}{% end_module_attribute %}{% module_attribute "type" is_json="true" %}{% raw %}"module"{% endraw %}{% end_module_attribute %}{% module_attribute "wrap_field_tag" is_json="true" %}{% raw %}"div"{% endraw %}{% end_module_attribute %}{% end_module_block %}

Shortly thereafter, in mid-April, a second phase was announced, introducing additional levies on American industrial and agricultural products, including textiles, leather goods, livestock, and dairy.\nAlthough EU member states approved these countermeasures on April 15 for phased implementation (in April, May, and December), they—like the US tariffs—have been temporarily put on hold during the ongoing negotiation period."{% endraw %}{% end_module_attribute %}{% module_attribute "type" is_json="true" %}{% raw %}"module"{% endraw %}{% end_module_attribute %}{% module_attribute "wrap_field_tag" is_json="true" %}{% raw %}"div"{% endraw %}{% end_module_attribute %}{% end_module_block %}

In Q1 2025, no clear shifts in cargo flows were observed that could be directly linked to the recent measures.\nFor example, container exports to the US rose by 3.2% in Q1 2025 compared to the same period last year—an increase below the overall container export growth rate (+5.6%). Steel exports saw a notable spike of 100,000 tonnes in January, but dropped below usual levels afterward. Overall, steel exports to the US in Q1 were 2% higher than in Q1 2024.\nA total of 37,743 vehicles were exported to the US in Q1 2025, a 19.5% decrease compared to last year, in line with the general decline in vehicle exports (-13.5%).\nLiquid bulk transshipment (such as LPG, LNG, and naphtha) remained stable, with a slight increase of 2.8%. Chemical product exports grew by 13.9%, while imports declined by 6.2%."{% endraw %}{% end_module_attribute %}{% module_attribute "type" is_json="true" %}{% raw %}"module"{% endraw %}{% end_module_attribute %}{% module_attribute "wrap_field_tag" is_json="true" %}{% raw %}"div"{% endraw %}{% end_module_attribute %}{% end_module_block %}

The US thus remains Port of Antwerp-Bruges’ second most important trading partner, after the United Kingdom. At the same time, the port remains the largest European export hub to the US.\nImports from the US increased by 13.1% to 9.7 million tonnes, with higher volumes in both containers and liquid bulk, including LNG and other energy gases.\nExports to the US rose by 23.5% to 6.7 million tonnes, mainly thanks to fuels and dry bulk. However, since May, there has been a clear decline in vehicle exports. In the first six months of the year, exports of new passenger and commercial vehicles dropped by 15.9% (76,089 units), and trucks and High &amp; Heavy vehicles by 31.5% (11,751 units). This indicates the impact of US import tariffs.\nContainer exports remained stable at 303,000 TEU, while container imports rose by 12.6%—possibly a sign of anticipation of future developments.\nMuch will depend on whether a trade agreement between the EU and US can be reached by August 1, which could bring renewed certainty and predictability to the supply chain. It is clear that further developments regarding trade tariffs and geopolitical tensions could impact the logistics chain. Port of Antwerp-Bruges is therefore in close contact with companies and terminals active in container transport, chemicals, and vehicles, and continues to monitor the situation closely."{% endraw %}{% end_module_attribute %}{% module_attribute "type" is_json="true" %}{% raw %}"module"{% endraw %}{% end_module_attribute %}{% module_attribute "wrap_field_tag" is_json="true" %}{% raw %}"div"{% endraw %}{% end_module_attribute %}{% end_module_block %}

Heading type H3 Text Hydrogen gas (H 2 ) is barely to be found on earth, but hydrogen atoms are hidden in larger compounds with other elements. Extracting the  hydrogen from these molecules  requires a lot of energy. Depending on the energy source used for its production, we distinguish between  grey, blue and green hydrogen . Text alignment Left Background color Transparent Media ICOON_Waterstof_Rood.ai ID bgg Text items Title Grey hydrogen Heading type H4 Text Grey hydrogen is made with fossil fuels . During production, CO₂ is released into the atmosphere. Title Blue hydrogen Heading type H4 Text Blue hydrogen is also produced with  fossil fuels , but the released CO₂ is captured and stored , so that it does not enter the atmosphere. The captured CO₂ is reused for other applications. This is an important step towards green hydrogen. Title Green hydrogen Heading type H4 Text Green hydrogen is made with electrolysis : you subject water to electricity so that it splits into hydrogen and oxygen gas. If you get that electricity from renewable energy sources , no CO₂ is released. Heading type H2 Text A great deal of energy is needed to separate hydrogen from larger molecules. This energy is released once more when the hydrogen gas reconnects with other atoms. This is what makes hydrogen is an  energy carrier . Despite of its energy intensive production, hydrogen has many advantages: it causes no emissions when burned and its production can be completely green.   Hydrogen has several applications and can be used: to  store surplus energy . as an  alternative energy source  in industry. as  fuel  in the transport sector. Hydrogen can be used in an internal combustion engine without emitting any pollutants. as  feedstock in the chemical industry.

Title 1.2 Local blue production Heading type H4 Text Antwerp@C aims to capture, liquefy and store CO₂ intermediately (Carbon Capture & Storage, CCS) by 2030 and then ship it to underground storage. Using captured CO₂, natural gas is converted to blue hydrogen and stored underground. With the A@C consortium, which also includes Kairos@C from BASF and Air Liquide, work is ongoing on the necessary CO₂ infrastructure to make this possible.  Title 1.3 Renewable energy imports Heading type H4 Text There is not enough wind or solar energy in Belgium and Western Europe to supply the port and all its users with green energy. This means we need to import renewable energy from regions where sun and wind are available in large quantities.   We are therefore committed to the global  supply or  importing of hydrogen and its carriers   from   countries such as Chile, Oman, Namibia, USA, Canada, Egypt or Brazil. There is a surplus of green electicity from solar and wind energy there. The  global spread  of these regions ensures that Belgium and Europe are  less dependent  on a small number of countries for their energy supplies. We expect the first imports in 2026.   The Hydrogen Import Coalition , comprising leading players such as DEME , Engie , Exmar , Fluxys , WaterstofNet and Port of Antwerp-Bruges, recently presented a detailed roadmap for hydrogen import in Belgium. This ambitious strategic vision provides insight into possible future scenarios and the associated infrastructure development.
