Heavy lift quay / RoRo-ramp in Geel / Westerlo

Near the Belgian towns Geel and Westerlo on the Albert Channel, we are working on one of the first dedicated special terminals in Europe for the handling of heavy lift and project cargoes. The installation entered operations in 2002. It is situated favourably and is suited for intermodal heavy lift operations involving coastal and inland shipping, road and railway carriage.

On the heavy lift quay, we have the possibility to temporarily store the project cargo before or after inland shipping. On a surface of 4.000 m², it is for instance possible to store several complete wind power installations before transporing the pieces one by noe to the final destination.
