New warehouse facility in the Port of Antwerp

Kuehne + Nagel has opened a newly built state-of-the-art logistics facility with over 14,000 sqm of warehousing space strategically located in the Waasland Cargo Centre area in the very heart of the Antwerp port.

The new facility is located close to the Deurgangdock container terminal and offers an excellent access to the hinterland and European highways.

The building, consisting of two halls of approximately 7,000 sqm each, is designed and equipped to offer European importers and exporters, as well as foreign manufacturers who need to bring their stock closer to the European market, a full package of warehousing, cross-docking and specialised handling activities including bonded warehousing and import / export (de)consolidation services. In Antwerp, Kuehne + Nagel is also providing value-added services, such as high-level cross-docking activity with scanning and labelling of boxes and pallets and a full electronic inventory reporting as well as the clearing of goods on behalf of the customers.

This opening goes along with the extension of the range of services of Kuehne + Nagel in Belgium in the field of seaport logistics, providing its customers with integrated door-to-door solutions in addition to seafreight transportation.
