Port Information Port Infrastructure - Facilities Available at HesseNoord Natie Terminal - Berth 420 Benefits This terminal provides a number of key benefits to customers including:
The port of Antwerp is located on the right bank of the River Scheldt and provides excellent hinterland connections to the rest of Europe:
The implementation of the ISPS code came into effect on the 1st
July 2004, a global maritime security standard introduced by the International
Maritime Organisation (IMO) for member nations. An approved port facility security plan has been approved Port History Hessenatie was founded in 1859. The concession for the first privately owned terminal in the port of Antwerp was granted to Hessenatie in 1964. Soon after, Hessenatie built several other terminals which were more or less specialized in certain commodities. In the sixties Hessenatie handled the first containers in Antwerp, resulting in full container terminals in 1980 and 1990. The most recently built terminal, a ro/ro facility, was designed in close consultation with our customers. Today Hessenatie can offer its customers tailor-made terminals for the handling of all types of break-bulk cargo. Hessenatie's turnover further increased in 2000 and reached a new record with BEF 14bn. Hessenatie handled more than 31 million tons of general cargo in 2000. There was an increase of 1 % on 1999. Container handling is Hessenatie's single largest activity both in terms of volume and turnover. Some 500,000 cars, mostly new ones, were driven in and out of sea-going ro/ro vessels. Pre-delivery inspection (PDI) activities showed a similar growth. Equipment

Therefore we are now able to offer customers a new barge link between the port of Antwerp and Rotterdam. The HT Holland barge terminal is a smaller dedicated facility which will allow OTAL to offer a regular and reliable daily barging service between Rotterdam and Antwerp with a sailing time of 10 hrs.The HT Holland terminal is located at Seinehaven in the Botlek area of the port. It is easily accessible by road too and offers stuffing and stripping facilities as well as storage facilities for hazardous cargo.

Port Information Port History The port of Bruges-Zeebrugge has a very long history. On the spot where the port of Zeebrugge is now located, there was little more than a beach and a row of dunes some 100 years ago. But actually the port history goes back to origins of the city of Bruges. From the creation of the first navigable channels to the rise of the florishing economic and cultural centre in the late Middle Ages to the decline from the 15th century onwards. In the beginning of the 20th century Bruges was again connected with the sea. But the real return on the international scene only came as a result of the comprehensive port expansion between 1970 and 1985. CHZ Container Terminal Type - Container Contacts
