In the first six months of 2025, the total throughput of Port of Antwerp-Bruges was 137.2 million tonnes, a decrease of 4.3% compared to the same period last year.

While container and RoRo traffic saw growth, both dry and liquid bulk volumes declined. Congestion at terminals, driven by a mix of logistical challenges and market developments, remains a persistent issue across Northwest Europe. A standout trend is the continuing surge in trade with the United States, reinforcing Port of Antwerp-Bruges’ robust position on transatlantic routes.
