“…However, the 4 Figure 2.1 considers the interactions between the main port players in accordance with the work of the abovementioned authors. This set of sectors encompasses a wider range of activities than the so-called maritime cluster as defined in Lagneaux (2006), which does not include the hinterland transport companies nor some additional other maritime services such as the oil trade and the supporting activities.…”

“…Every year, the Microeconomic Analysis unit of the National Bank of Belgium publishes a report on the economic importance of the Belgian ports (see Lagneaux, 2006), in which the socio-economic importance of the Flemish ports is considered, measured by indicators such as value added, employment and investment.

The economic impact of the port sector is usually measured at an aggregate level by indicators such as value added, employment and investment. This paper tries to define the economic relevance for the regional as well as for the national economy at a disaggregate level. It attempts to identify, quantify and locate the mutual relationships between the various port players themselves and between them and other Belgian industries. Due to a lack of information foreign trade is only tackled very briefly but the method outlined in this paper can be used to measure the national effects of changes in port activity at a detailed level.A sector analysis is made by compiling a regional 1 input-output table, resorting to microeconomic data: a bottom-up approach. The main customers and suppliers of the port's key players or stakeholders are identified. A geographical analysis can also be carried out by using data at a disaggregate level. Each customer or supplier can be located by means of their postcode. In so doing, the economic impact of the port is quantified, both functionally and geographically.In the case of the port of Antwerp, the results show important links between freight forwarders and agents. The geographical analysis suggests the existence of major agglomerating effects in and around the port of Antwerp, referred to as a major transhipment location point.

This paper is an annual publication issued by the Microeconomic Analysis service of the National Bank of Belgium.The Flemish maritime ports (Antwerp, Ghent, Oostende, Zeebrugge), the Autonomous Port of Liège and the port of Brussels play a major role in their respective regional economies and in the Belgian economy, not only in terms of industrial activity but also as intermodal centres facilitating the commodity flow.This update paper 1 provides an extensive overview of the economic importance and development of the Flemish maritime ports, the Liège port complex and the port of Brussels in the period 2004 -2009, with an emphasis on 2009. Focusing on the three major variables of value added, employment and investment, the report also provides some information about social balance and the financial situation in these ports as a whole. These observations are linked to a more general context, along with a few cargo statistics.
