🇧🇪 Belgium
North Sea · Multi-Purpose Port
In the last 180 days, ArcNautical recorded 911 vessel arrivals at Antwerp, with Cargo accounting for 26% of port calls — lower than the North Sea regional average of 40%. Antwerp in Belgium sits in one of the most heavily trafficked maritime zones in the world — the gateway to Rotterdam, Antwerp, Hamburg, and Bremerhaven. Traffic density in the Dover Strait alone exceeds 500 movements per day, and the Traffic Separation Schemes managed jointly by UK, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, and Scandinavia impose strict routing constraints. Collision risk, grounding in shallow waters, and encounters with offshore wind farms and oil and gas platforms are persistent concerns. PSC inspections under the Paris MOU are rigorous, and vessels with deficiencies face above-average detention rates at North Sea ports. Winter storms (October–March) regularly compress port access windows.
Across 911 distinct vessel arrivals, 897 carry a confirmed AIS ship-type code. The most common categories at Antwerp:
Antwerp falls under the Paris MoU. The Paris Memorandum of Understanding does not publish a bulk per-vessel detention CSV. ArcNautical evaluates per-vessel detention probability using flag-state performance (3-year rolling rate from the 2024 Paris MoU annual report), vessel age, deficiency history, and ownership transparency. Paris MoU PSC inspections remain among the most rigorous globally.
