The port features terminals and industrial zones suited for assembly, storage, and distribution, including facilities used for offshore wind pre-assembly and operations. It provides road, sea, and inland waterway connectivity, customs services, and ISPS-compliant security. Port Ostend works with partners on energy-transition initiatives such as HyPort Ostend, aimed at developing green hydrogen production and related logistics.
