The Port of Brussels (French: Port de Bruxelles; Dutch: Haven van Brussel) is an inland port at a distance of 120 kilometres (75 mi) from the sea. It is accessible for ships up to 4,500 tonnes and push towing convoys up to 9,000 tonnes. Via the Brussels–Scheldt Maritime Canal even sea-going vessels (fluviomaritime and coasters) can reach the outer port, and through the Brussels–Charleroi Canal the transit to Wallonia is assured. The port is located in the City of Brussels in the Brussels-Capital Region.
On the limited surface area (64 ha) there are approximately 300 companies, which account for about 13,000 jobs.[2]
