Shortsea shipping
Port of Antwerp-Bruges offers weekly fixed short sea and feeder services from and to 200 destinations in Europe, North Africa and the United Kingdom. The extensive network of frequent short sea and feeder connections from Antwerp and Zeebrugge ensures rapid transit times. Short sea shipping offers a larger transport capacity than road transport, thereby reducing the costs per unit load. Via Port of Antwerp-Bruges, ships load or unload their short sea cargo closer to the major European centres of consumption and production.
Port of Antwerp-Bruges, and in particular Zeebrugge, is a hub for United Kingdom traffic: every week more than 70 scheduled services connect Antwerp and Zeebrugge with various regions in the United Kingdom and Ireland. This allows us to offer tailor-made solutions for just-in-time provisioning to the British markets.
