Freddy Aerts: 'Saeftinghedok is just one of the options'

So said Freddy Aerts yesterday at a press conference on the alternatives study that identified all possible options in front of and behind the locks on the two banks of the Scheldt. The additional capacity is intended to accommodate the expected growth in container traffic in Antwerp until 2030, so that the Scheldt port can continue to play its role as an engine of employment and prosperity for the region.
