Antwerp

Centrally located port for both overseas cargoes as well as short sea shipping with good facilities for logistics services, port of Antwerp is Finnlines' main continental port in the North Sea area.

Thanks to the geographical location of Antwerp on the river Scheldt, goods are already near to the customer when they land in the port. Free capacity guarantees short waiting times and fast turnaround for ships. Combined with a very high productivity this gives Antwerp a reputation of a fast port.
