Limited disruption in Antwerp due to union demonstration

Demonstrations against the Michel government’s planned pension reform are taking place in Brussels today. Trade unionists from Antwerp are also heading to the capital to protest. It was not clear what impact this would have on the operation of the port of Antwerp. By mid-morning, however, it turned out not to be so bad. The Boudewijnsluis is out of service until 19:15 tonight due to lack of sufficient personnel, reports Port+. The Kallo lock is also in limited operation and will only serve inland shipping today, confirms Port+. According to shipowners’ association ASV, the inconvenience this causes is very limited.
