FS Logistix takes over train connection between Antwerp and Milan Paragraphs Title Cooperation between FS Logistix and Lineas Heading type H2 Text Italy’s FS Logistix launched the connection, with Mercitalia Intermodal as rail operator and locomotives supplied by Lineas. The train service departs from the Main Hub rail terminal in Antwerp and runs to Segrate, a suburb of Milan. From there, further connections within Italy are available, for example to the Pomezia terminal south of Rome. The rail link also offers opportunities for expansion to France, Germany and Eastern Europe. Text alignment Left Background color Transparent Media Spoorverbinding Antwerpen-Milaan_2025 Titel Part of a strategic plan Heading type H2 Tekst The new rail link is the first tangible result since FS Logistix acquired a 30% stake in the Main Hub rail terminal in Antwerp. This is a key element of its 2025–2029 strategic plan to expand business across Europe. FS Logistix therefore aims to provide efficient and sustainable logistics solutions.

Meanwhile, the European Commission unveiled stricter rules to curb foreign steel dumping. Liquid bulk declined 13.5%, hit by weaker petroleum derivatives exports to West Africa and persistent weakness in the European chemical sector. Volumes of biofuels and energy gases continued their growth. The decline in LNG traffic, resulting from the European ban on the transshipment of Russian gas, was partially offset by higher imports from the US. Recent announcements in the European chemicals industry underline the continued pressure on the sector.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Dry bulk (-8.9%) was primarily impacted by weaker fertiliser shipments, partly offset by increased imports from Russia and Morocco, the former ahead of the introduction of new EU duties. The RoRo segment grew by 3.3%, supported by rising imports of new cars from China – despite European import duties introduced at the end of 2024 – as well as higher volumes of trucks and used vehicles.

Mixed picture for Port of Antwerp-Bruges in volatile trading climate

Port of Antwerp-Bruges launches Breakbulk Summit in 2026 Paragraphs Title Breakbulk on the move Heading type H2 Text The breakbulk sector is an essential link in global trade . It enables the transport of complex, heavy and oversized goods: from industrial machinery to wind turbine components. These are crucial for keeping other industries running, achieving the energy transition and building large-scale infrastructure projects. At the same time, the sector faces constant challenges: stricter sustainability standards, the need for more efficient supply chains and the integration of new technologies.   The Breakbulk Summit brings these themes together in a programme full of substantive sessions, practical cases and discussions with international experts . The event is thus a hotspot for cargo owners, logistics service providers, shipping companies, freight forwarders and other stakeholders. Media FILM_Breakbulk Summit 2026 Text As the largest breakbulk port in Europe, our port is the perfect base for this summit. Cargo owners meet their service providers here, from freight forwarders to shipping companies and companies that deliver added value services.

The port has excellent overseas connections via regular breakbulk lines and offers a wide range of transport options to the hinterland: road, rail, short sea and inland waterways. For centuries, Antwerp has been the breakbulk port par excellence , with an extensive network of specialised service providers and experienced teams that bring even the most complex assignments to a successful conclusion.  Title You might also find this interesting Related content Breakbulk Breakbulk / RORO sailing list Breakbulk in the port: greening on a sizeable scale Background color Dark Blue External links External link Breakbulk Summit Title Breakbulk Summit Media Breakbulk summit_GS_1200x728 Center items Off Introduction Port of Antwerp-Bruges is launching a new biennial conference to underline its position as Europe's largest breakbulk port.
