Day 2 • Friday 18^th October

Boat trip • River Scheldt • €50

14:30pm

Instead of a Friday morning tour, partners are invited to the delegate tour on Friday afternoon at 14:30 – River Scheldt boat trip.

A boat tour on the Scheldt is an easy way of seeing all aspects of the port from close by. Just sit back, relax and watch the ships, quays, cranes and terminals glide past, together with Antwerp’s skyline.

From the water you see the port from a completely different angle, in the docks and on the Scheldt. You get a fantastic view of the activities on the terminals, sail past giant container carriers hundreds of metres long, and experience the huge extent of the vast port area.
