Port of Antwerp-Bruges Tour

Discover the beating heart of Europe’s chemical hub on a Port of Antwerp-Bruges port tour through the vibrant Antwerp chemical cluster. Step into a world where global players like BASF, INEOS, Evonik, Covestro and many others operate side by side, sharing pipelines, utilities, and an unparalleled logistics network. See how integrated production sites exchange heat, steam, and raw materials, turning by-products from one plant into valuable resources for another – an ecosystem where efficiency and sustainability reinforce each other.

As we navigate Europe’s largest chemical hub, you’ll get a front-row look at pioneering projects shaping tomorrow: the expansion of CO₂ and hydrogen backbones, and cutting-edge investments that push the port toward a climate-neutral future.

Join us and experience how collaboration, innovation, and world-class infrastructure make Antwerp not just a port, but a living laboratory for the industry of the future.
