Abstract
    Depending on the definition used, Belgium features between two and six seaports. This chapter limits itself to Antwerp, Ghent and Zeebruges. Antwerp is a tidal port due to the river Scheldt. The port of Ghent is located closer to the sea along the same river. The port of Zeebruges finally is located at sea. Of the three considered Belgian seaports, Antwerp is by far the biggest one. The Belgian ports of Ghent and Antwerp have always had a very decentralized character. The basic rule since the Port Decree of 1999 is that in Belgium all basic infrastructure, including maritime access ways, locks, harbour dams, dredging works, road networks, inland waterway connections and the like, is financed by the Flemish Region.
