Pipelines offer companies a safe, reliable and above all eco-friendly means of transport for the supply and distribution of its products in Belgium and surrounding countries. This mode is predominantly used in the chemical sector but can also be applied for other products (see best practice: Brewery De Halve Maan). Today, the biggest intersection of Western European pipelines is located in the Port of Antwerp.
