4. EASY ACCESS
The Port of Oostende, situated in Europe’s
busiest maritime area (51°14’ N - 2° 56’ E), is
a versatile short sea port.
It can accommodate all types of coastal
maritime traffic, including RORO, bulk and
project cargo. In addition to its seaport,
Oostende is also home to an international
freight and passenger airport.
The multi-modal function is further
emphasized by the presence of
comprehensive railroad infrastructure, of a
canal leading up to the European inland
waterway network and of course the
motorway A10-E40 linked directly to the port
terminals.
ENERGY PORT OOSTENDE
The port has recently been modernised in
both infrastructure and organisation and is
now the leading force in the industrialisation
of the hinterland.
The port gives priority to vessels active for
the offshore wind industry.
CITY
Oostende is a medium-sized Belgian city,
which has all the assets of a large town.

BELGIAN WIND FARMS The wind farms in the North Sea
make an important contribution
to achieving the Belgian
renewable energy targets. The
various offshore wind farms
(once fully operational) have an
installed capacity of some 2,200
MW and an annual electricity
output of 7,700,000 MWH.
This is equivalent to:
- 9% of total electricity
consumption in Belgium (80 85
TWh)
- 46% of Belgian households
- All necessary energy for the 66
largest cities of Belgium (5.082
million inhabitants).
Besides supply, offshore wind
in Belgium creates direct and
indirect jobs (+ / - 20,000 jobs) in
an innovative technology with
export potential. Belgium is, to
installed capacity (380 MW),
currently among the European
top three in the offshore wind
business.
