Amerikadok

The Amerikadok stretches 881 meters in length and 185 meters in width, featuring deep water access for commercial shipping operations in northern Antwerp.

Initially constructed in 1887 as two separate basins named Afrika and Amerika, the dock served as a petroleum harbor until 1903 when it received its current designation.

The dock stands as a testament to Antwerp's maritime traditions, connecting the city to international trade routes through its grain handling and vessel construction facilities.

Located at coordinates 51.24472°N and 4.39444°E, the dock maintains a depth of 6.25 meters to accommodate both seagoing vessels and inland waterway transport.

The dock includes specialized waiting berths at quay 47 where inland vessels gather before lock operations and during weekend stays.
