DP World completes €200M, 3rd phase expansion in Antwerp

The newly arrived quay cranes at London Gateway are expected to operate for at least 25 years, and are sized to accommodate world’s largest container ships.

The Port of Antwerp-Bruges says the container throughput is picking up again despite ongoing challenges and uncertainties in the market.

Leveraging its strategic location within Europe’s largest chemical cluster, the Port of Antwerp-Bruges believes it is equipped to seamlessly accommodate methanol bunkering operations.

“We do not sell these products ourselves; it is the demonstrators themselves that decide who they partner up with,” the port said in the statement to WorldCargo News.

Under the MoU, parties will collaborate to enhance infrastructure for the provision and bunkering of alternative fuels, such as green methanol.

Port of Antwerp-Bruges already has the necessary infrastructure for receiving various hydrogen carriers such as methanol, ammonia and methane.
