Alfaport Voka: 'Other priorities than rail line Antwerp-Zeebrugge'

According to Stephan Vanfraechem, general manager of Alfaport Voka, the project for a railway line between Waaslandhaven and Zeebrugge has been on the list of rail projects for a long time. Space is planned for the railway line along the E34 motorway. “This project has been on Alfaport’s list of rail projects for more than 15 years. We will certainly revisit this in the talks between the ports of Antwerp and Zeebrugge. But to my sense, other major investments are currently needed to bring the rail share in the port’s modal split to 15%,” says Vanfraechem.
