Breakbulk Europe exhibition & conference will be held in Rotterdam. It is something the united forces of Rotterdam Ahoy, Rotterdam Partners, the Municipality of Rotterdam, Rotterdam Port Promotion Council and the Port of Rotterdam Authority have been working towards for years. The arrival of the event in Rotterdam will be a great boost to the city, the port and the region as a whole.
Breakbulk Europe is the largest event for the project cargo and breakbulk industry and is set to draw thousands of people to Rotterdam. It confirms Rotterdam’s status as Europe’s maritime capital and is a boost for the events industry in the region.
Breakbulk Hub
In 2020, Rotterdam handled over six million tonnes of breakbulk. “Rotterdam is well known for its specialisation in the heavy-lift and breakbulk sector. We can handle any vessel, of any size and any type. That is why we are seen as the most versatile general breakbulk hub”, said Levenswaard. “There is a good reason why our slogan is “Bigger Better Breakbulk”. I’m looking forward to welcoming our international associates.”

AntwerpXL, the award-winning breakbulk and heavy-lift event, will be held on 28 – 30 November 2023 in Antwerp, Belgium.
Hosted at the heart of the European breakbulk market, AntwerpXL provides a platform for the breakbulk, roro, heavy lift and project cargo industry that delivers valuable connections and unforgettable experiences for visitors and exhibitors alike.
AntwerpXL provides all-year-round knowledge and resources, feeding into a platform for the industry to come together, networking with people from across the industry and finding the products and solutions needed for their businesses.
