Belgium’s Antwerp port seems to be profiting the most from the ongoing congestion issues in the port of Rotterdam that is still taking its toll. In order to be able to meet their schedules, shipping companies are switching their port calls from Rotterdam to nearby ports, Antwerp being among the top choices. German shipper Hapag-Lloyd has switched several vessel calls from Rotterdam to Antwerp amid congestion. The latest to join the switch is Hong Kong-based container shipping company Orient Overseas Container Line (OOCL).
