By the Southern Canal Dock in the inner port of Zeebrugge, a ceremony was held yesterday for the start of the construction of a new 1,071 meter quay wall, an extension of the existing Bastenaken quay. This quay wall is the final missing piece that will connect the Bastenaken quay with the reverse quay at the dock's end, where International Car Operators Zeebrugge is located. When this project is finished, the largest dock in het port of Zeebrugge will be completed.
The port authority is working with BESIX for the realisation of this project. BESIX builds large-scale marine projects all over the world: jetties, quay walls, breakwaters, locks, canals and more. They also recently worked on projects in the outer and inner port in Zeebrugge.
