About the Port of Antwerp The Port of Antwerp is the leading integrated maritime and logistical hub of Europe and the second largest European seaport. Because of its central location in the heart of Europe, and thanks to a widespread network of multimodal connections, the port is optimally connected with the economic centers over all of Europe. Innovation, one of its most important key drivers, makes sure the port of Antwerp is always looking one step further than the current supply chain needs. Next to economic development, the port attaches great importance to the development of social as well as sustainable management. Brief tour description Albert canal: Inland shipping as a sustainable transport mode (challenge: mobility). Main hub: maritime rail terminal to bundle outgoing traffic of multiple maritime terminals to diverse destinations in the (inter)national hinterland + same organization for ingoing traffics from the hinterland (challenge: mobility). Pipelines and their positive influence on environment and mobility: in the field of transport emissions, noise disturbance, congestion, negative visual effects, pipelines score the best (challenge: mobility). Renewable energy: windmills, solar panels, LNG and methane. The port is home to one of the biggest windmill parks on land in Belgium. We also get to see the closed waste heap Hooge Maey. Via pipings, energy is being produced and so it doesn’t end up in the atmosphere. Solar panels also deliver electricity to be used in the port (challenge: sustainability).  Scanners and Amoras: on-site and mobile scanners from Customs, to control containers. Amoras stands for “Antwerpse Mechanische Ontwatering, Recyclage en Applicatie van Slib”. This project is a solution for the storage and processing of maintenance dredging (challenge: safety & security).
