Port of Oostende is making significant investments to enhance its infrastructure and support RoRo operations. Key initiatives include:
- Tilbury Terminal Modernisation: Located along Vergunningenstraat and the R31 towards Bredene, the terminal will receive a new fence, upgraded lighting, improved facilities for dockworkers, and an advanced camera system. These upgrades aim to make the site more attractive for RoRo traffic by early next year.
- Belrail Site Development: Recently designated as a maritime logistics zone, the Belrail site in Plassendale enables the port to better meet the growing demand for logistics space.
- Vlotdok Area Enhancements: Ongoing investments include asphalting, new fencing, a high-voltage substation, upgraded lighting, and a high-performance camera system. Additionally, sheds 3 and 4 have been demolished to create space, optimizing the area for maritime logistics.
- REBO and OSSCO Terminal Security: Earlier this year, the port invested in enhancing the security of its REBO and OSSCO terminals at the Zeewezendok.
Collectively, these investments amount to over €1.5 million, reinforcing the port’s commitment to sustainable and future-proof growth.
Port of Oostende, once a Channel ferry port, focuses now on RoRo traffic with new cars.
