Additional rail capacity on Antwerp - Central and Eastern Europe route

A market analysis had shown that the port of Antwerp could still improve its position on Central and Eastern Europe in terms of the network of multimodal connections. Last year, that region accounted for more than 200 tonnes of cargo. Fast and regular connections to these regions are essential to attract more freight. That is why, late last year, the Port Authority launched a project call for sustainable and efficient rail connections between Antwerp and key regions in Central and Eastern Europe.
