At Antwerp harbour, we feel very small, a microb compare to the decadence of the industry. Nuclear power plant, wind turbines, petrochemicals, containers and endless fields of new cars as far as the eye can see.
Polluted universe, the harbour remains the economic lung of Antwerp, a city in its own right, which makes work nearly 65 000 people. When containers are loaded, it’s a fascinating machinery, heavy metal sound and resonant background, .
At dusk, the massive silhouettes of maritime cranes tear the scene. A well-run puppet show on a pink blue background.
Antwerp harbour : we had to Load the car 1 day before passengers, so expect 1 night hotel in Antwerp.
