How to transport goods to Antwerp?

Its port is Europe’s 2nd largest commercial port, both in terms of activity and tonnage (just behind Rotterdam).

Preparing your road transport to Antwerp
When you book road haulage to Antwerp, as with any other destination, you can be sure that you’ll find what you’re looking for. transport serviceIn order to do this, you need to make sure that you provide your transport company with all the information it needs to provide its services under the best possible conditions, in line with your deadlines and requirements.
For example, if you need to deliver to a busy area like Avenue de Keyser, with lots of stores and restaurants, let your transport company know about any elements that could disrupt the driver’s journey. In fact, the recipient’s address may be in a cul-de-sac, or a street that is difficult for trucks to access. In this case, it’s important to anticipate delivery so that it takes place under the best possible conditions.
