Port of Antwerp

In Antwerp, some of the largest ships in the world almost sail into the city center. Although the port of Antwerp is located 80 kilometers inland, it is a real deepsea port despite its unique location. Products such as fruit, steel, and coffee can thus be transported to the European hinterland much faster and more sustainably. Far from the sea, yet close to the final destination…. It is easy to see why the port of Antwerp is the second-largest port in Europe.

The port authority itself is located in the recently and uniquely renovated port house by Zaha Hadid. This unique structure honors the old building and makes room for expansion on top. The design is loosely based on a diamond in the shape of a both to resemble Antwerp’s two most important sources of income.
