Rock-solid facts on liquid bulk

22 % of our seaborne cargo is liquid bulk.
4.4 million m³ of storage. That’s a lot of liquid real estate.
5 million m³ of liquid bulk storage - that’s our ambition!
1 million tonnes of biofuel produced in our port each year.
17 metres deep. A dream for large liquid bulk carriers.
12.5 metres canal depth – large vessels reach the quays with ease.
128.5 million tonnes shipped. We keep cargo flowing.
61.5 million tonnes transshipped via inland shipping.

Zero congestion. Tonnes of storage.

Our port stretches from Vlissingen on the North Sea to Ghent, 30 kilometres inland. Close to your customers – meaning more efficient transport and faster delivery. While others sit in queues or get stuck in traffic, liquid bulk flows smoothly through our port, deep into Europe.

No rush? No problem. We offer an impressive 4.4 million m³ of storage capacity – and we’re steadily building towards 5 million. Plenty of space to store your liquid cargo safely. No wonder liquid bulk feels right at home here.
