The Antwerp Gateway (1700) terminal is currently experiencing severe yard congestion, which may result in a temporary suspension of container deliveries beginning June 29, 2026. The situation is being closely monitored by the terminal operator, with further updates expected as conditions evolve.
In response to the congestion, truck appointment availability is extremely limited. Customers are encouraged to book appointments as early as possible and contact their service representative if delivery slots are unavailable so that alternative solutions can be explored. Additionally, importers are urged to collect import containers promptly and adhere to applicable free time to help alleviate congestion and minimize further operational delays. Shippers with cargo moving through Antwerp should anticipate potential disruptions to container pickup and delivery schedules and plan accordingly. We will continue to monitor this situation and provide updates accordingly.
