Port of Antwerp-Bruges reports strong container recovery

The Port of Antwerp-Bruges has reported strong recovery in container throughput in a volatile trading environment.

Reportedly in the first nine months of 2026, Port of Antwerp-Bruges handled 200.9 million tonnes of goods, 0.8% less than in the same period last year.

After a first half of the year in which shipping was affected by adverse weather conditions, strikes in the nautical chain, and an oil spill in the Deurganck Dock, the start of the third quarter was also disrupted.

In mid-July, a damaged container carrying hydrofluoric acid disrupted operations in the Deurganck Dock.
