Merging of the Antwerp and Bruges ports
In 2021, the companies operating the ports of Antwerp and Zeebrugge (Bruges) decided to undergo a merger to strengthen their position in the European and global supply chain. The merger took a year to finish and the two ports finally merged in 2022, creating the Antwerp-Bruges Port Authority that now manages the port. The Antwerp-Bruges Port has become the leading port for vehicle trade and ranked second in total cargo throughput among European ports in 2021.
