Antwerp’s second tidal dock plans halted because of nitrogen

Due to nitrogen restrictions the second tidal container dock of Antwerp will most likely not be built. The planned Antwerp’s second tidal container dock is drawn immediately adjacent, west, of the Deurganckdok. It has an annual capacity of 7.1 M TEU.

The advice for annulation came from an auditor of the Council of State (Raad van State Belgie). A nearby rural heritage organization had appealed the building of the dock.

The auditor granted the appeal on the grounds of nitrogen deposit uncertainty. The government of Flanders can counter these objections and nitrogen assumptions in the upcoming three months, after which the Council of State is expected to rule within 12 months.

The second tidal dock is not the only dock in the planning. Antwerp has disclosed a third variant for the dock. They call it the Duplex. In this variant Antwerp will get an extra 5.3. M TUE.
