The Port of Antwerp-Bruges is Europe's largest chemical cluster and the world's second-busiest container port. FFGR Belgium provides executive transfers to the port's corporate zone.
The Port of Antwerp-Bruges (merged in 2022) handles 289 million tonnes of cargo per year, making it Europe's largest port by tonnage and the world's second-largest container port by throughput. The port's corporate zone — the Left Bank and Right Bank industrial areas along the Schelde, extending 40 kilometres north and south of Antwerp city — houses the world's largest integrated chemical cluster (BASF Antwerp, Bayer, Evonik, ExxonMobil, INEOS, Total).
FFGR Belgium at the Port: executive transfers to the port's corporate zone from Brussels or Brussels Airport require knowledge of the port's access gate system (Gate 1, Gate 4, and the specialised VOPAK and MSC gate systems).
