Antwerpen

Tidal river port on the Scheldt about 45 nautical miles from the sea. Approaches along the Western Scheldt are tide-driven and busy, while the city docks behind the sea locks are essentially level-controlled and calm for mooring.

About Antwerpen

Set deep inside the Scheldt estuary, Antwerp sits where the tidal range increases inland and currents can be strong, so timing matters—especially in wind-against-tide. Beyond the sea locks the dock system and canals are largely non-tidal, offering predictable berths within the city. Since 2022 the port operates as Port of Antwerp-Bruges, with leisure access to the city basins via locks such as the Kattendijk.
