Belgian state-owned operator Lineas will take over Area 7 of the port of Antwerp, gaining control of 70% of the area dedicated to single wagonload services. When this new model was implemented in 2024, the company operated two areas, now it does so in seven.<\/strong>
\n<\/span>\u201cWith Areas 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6B and now 7, Lineas further consolidates its role in connecting terminals and industrial customers in the Port of Antwerp-Bruges with its Belgian and European rail freight network\u201d, Lineas said on LinkedIn. Area 7 is the first one under the control of Lineas located on the western side of the port.<\/p>\n

HSL Belgium, part of TX Logistik, which is itself a subsidiary of the Italian state-owned group FS Logistix, operates area 6A, the only one on the eastern side not under Lineas\u2019 management. Areas 8 and 9 have been assigned to Railtraxx, part of Rail Logistics Europe and thus the SNCF Group, since the beginning together with Area 3, which was transferred to Lineas in July 2025<\/a>.<\/p>\n
