MSC Belgium
MSC Belgium n.v. is a maritime shipping agency founded and established in Antwerp, Belgium in 1999, as direct agents of the Mediterranean Shipping Company S.A. (MSC) of Geneva, Switzerland. Upon the formation of MSC Belgium, the company took over the personnel of Deckers & Wirtz B.V.B.A. which was, at that time, acting as the agent of MSC S.A in Antwerp since 1976. MSC Belgium is regarded by its Principals as a leading agent, together with the Port of Antwerp which is undoubtedly the port with the highest strategic importance for MSC. This is due to the fact that 300 million of the World's richest consumers happen to live within 700 KM of the docks of Antwerp, due to Antwerp being the main transhipment hub for the global operations of MSC, and due to the sheer depth of local expertise available within MSC Belgium. MSC Belgium facilitates the transportation of containerised cargo to and from all 5 Continents with weekly scheduled sailings and arrivals to and from the Port of Antwerp.
