TRANSCRIPT
The port is administered by an autonomous
municipal body with a separate corporate identity,
called Antwerp Port Authority.
It owns the docks and the sites used by port
operators and industries on the Right Bank, and
also some of the port’s equipment.
Moreover, the Antwerp Port Authority is
responsible for the management of the port on
the Left Bank, thus ensuring the application of
uniform policies on both sides of the river.
General land development and industrialisation
on the Left Bank is in the hands of an
intermunicipal corporation.
The Antwerp Port Authority has a workforce of
1,600. It owns and manages docks, berths, locks
and bridges. It is responsible for planning,
modernising and maintaining the infrastructure of
the port, and for operating its own equipment,
including floating cranes, shore cranes, tugs and
dredgers.
The Antwerp Port Authority leases sites and land.
