Deepwater Antwerp
The Port of Antwerp has declared that everything is possible following the arrival there last month of the 18,000 TEU boxship Mary Maersk.
The recently announced P3 Network, an alliance between the three largest container shipping companies (Maersk, MSC and CMA CGM) clearly opts for Antwerp as a European platform. In recent months the alliance between the three has led to the centralisation of a number of sailing areas, the results of which have proved to be very favorable for Antwerp.
The inland location of the port, once considered a possible obstacle to the development of Antwerp, has become a major asset to the hinterland.
