Title Update 6/10/2025 - 07:00 Heading type H2 Text Both pilot dispatch stations are currently operational. There is some congestion, with 29 outgoing and 22 incoming vessels in Antwerp awaiting pilotage services. In Zeebrugge, the queue consists of 5 outgoing and 5 incoming vessels. The Flemish pilotage services operate during established office hours, from 08:00 to 17:00. Shipping operations are scheduled as efficiently as possible to ensure smooth traffic flow. Title Update 5/10/2025 - 10:30 Heading type H2 Text Since midnight, the pilots are conducting a work-to-rule action for an indefinite period.. They are combining office hours with maximum rest. This means that Flemish pilots are assigned between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. and ships are manned from 10 a.m. at the earliest to 5 p.m. at the latest.   At present, pilot services are still suspended due to weather conditions. They are expected to resume in the course of the afternoon.   This action will cause serious disruption to the resumption of shipping to and from Antwerp and Zeebrugge, with severe disruptions to arrivals and departures in the coming days.   Title Update 4/10/2025 - 13:00 Heading type H2 Text There is no indication yet as to the type of action and its possible impact on our port.

Advario's role in the CO₂ chain Paragraphs Title Potential for energy transition Heading type H2 Text Advario comprises a global network of 14 terminals, each with the potential to support the energy transition. The focus is on chemicals, gases and new energy carriers such as methanol, ammonia, hydrogen and CO₂ . In Antwerp, Advario operates a terminal on each bank of the Scheldt.  Text alignment Left Background color Blue Media Advario_2025 Title Efficient CO₂ storage Heading type H2 Text With its long-standing expertise in liquefied-gas storage and robust logistics capabilities, Advario is well positioned to manage the CO₂ chain from emission source to permanent storage in the North Sea, including bundling, storage and transhipment. "This requires careful coordination across the chain to avoid unnecessary conversion of CO₂ from gas to liquid and back again. That costs energy and money. Any unnecessary conversion increases the cost of the process," Cathy explains. Text Our logistics infrastructure, experience and networks mean that today we can collect CO₂ from inland and export it to the sea just as efficiently as we import products from the sea and distribute them inland. Author Frederic Vagenende Link Advario Background color Transparent Sub text Manager of Strategic Implementation Media Frédéric_Vagenende_Advario_2025 Title An ideal place for liquid CO₂ Heading type H2 Text Advario’s CC(U)S efforts focus on storing and handling liquid CO ₂ , particularly imports delivered by rail , inland navigation or road rather than pipelines. The Advario Stolthaven Antwerp terminal already offers a strong foundation, capable of receiving liquid CO ₂ via railcar, inland navigation ship or truck , with sufficient quay facilities and room to expand rail capacity. Today, the terminal has 16 jetties and 26 pipeline connections.   "What is certain is that liquid CO ₂ streams will play a key role, as not every emitter will have a pipeline nearby. Liquefaction for (sea) transport to the permanent storage site is costly, and the required purification process ensures that the CO ₂ is delivered in liquid form without interruption," explains Frederic. In its initial phase, Advario plans to start CC(U)S operations around 2029-2030 , utilising the space available at the Stolthaven Antwerp terminal. As European grants come with deadlines, certain larger projects must be up and running before they expire. Advario is targeting a capacity of 1.5 to 1.8 million tons of CO 2 throughput per year.  Title Timing as a crucial link Heading type H2 Text Cost remains an important factor, but at higher volumes the price per ton falls sharply, making close coordination between multiple parties essential. Investment for a single early customer, without the prospect of a second, would make it prohibitively expensive. Projects should be synchronised as much as possible; otherwise, starting too early or too late will drive costs up again. Careful timing and synchronisation throughout the chain are essential. Text alignment Right Background color Transparent Media Advario_2025 Text The supply of CO 2 streams is expected to increase exponentially. The key question is no longer whether sufficient volumes will be available, but rather when they will become available. Timing is of the essence. Author Cathy De Graeve Link Advario Background color Blue Sub text Business Development Manager Media Cathy_De_Graeve_Advario_2025 Title Strategic location for the German market Heading type H2 Text Advario sees great potential for CC(U)S in Germany, as well as in Switzerland. Planned CO₂ pipelines are delayed, and for industrial clusters located far from waterways, such as the cement sector, rail remains the only viable solution. Inland navigation , meanwhile, is a viable option for water-bound regions that are not affected by low river levels.   The strategic location in Antwerp is a major asset in this regard, combined with multimodal accessibility by rail, water and road . "German customers also really appreciate the port's efforts in the area of rail transport," says Cathy. "German and Swiss customers with restricted waterway access show strong interest here." Title Working together to make it happen Heading type H2 Text Advario's core message is clear: CC(U)S is technically feasible , but only affordable if all links in the chain, from industry to transport and storage, are efficiently aligned and invest together.
