The Port of Antwerp-Bruges concludes 2025 on a strong note.

In 2025, Port of Antwerp-Bruges faced challenges from geopolitical tensions, economic uncertainty, and industrial action, resulting in a 4.1% decline in total maritime throughput. Despite fluctuations in container traffic and disruptions in logistics, the port remained a vital import-export hub, with the U.S. emerging as its largest trade partner. Container imports from China grew, exacerbating the imbalance in flows. Looking ahead to 2026, the port aims to enhance infrastructure and safety while addressing economic pressures, with significant projects like Extra Container Capacity and the New Zeebrugge Lock on the agenda.
