The cities Antwerp and Bruges merge their ports

The City of Antwerp and the City of Bruges have reached an agreement to merge their respective ports.

The two-city agreement marks the official starting shot for a unification process that is expected to take one year. After that, the ports will continue under the name “Port of Antwerp-Bruges.” In this manner, the ports strengthen their position in the global logistics chain and make sure sustainable growth is perpetuated.

In addition, the single port will be more resilient to the challenges of the future and lead the transition to a low-carbon economy. In this way, Port of Antwerp-Bruges wants to become the first world port that reconciles economy, people and climate.
