The Port of Liège and Euroports Inland Terminals have signed a 30-year concession agreement for the Clermont-sous-Huy port area in Engis, signed on September 15, 2026, marking a new milestone in the development of port infrastructure and multimodality in the Liège region. The concession covers a strategically located strip of land between the quay along the Meuse and the sites operated by Euroports Inland Terminals, with the quay fully funded by the Wallonia Public Service for Mobility and Infrastructure. The transfer of quay management from Wallonia to the Port of Liège further expands the port’s portfolio, which now covers 34 port areas along the Meuse and Albert Canal spanning more than 380 hectares. The agreement supports the development of Euroports Inland Terminals’ 3R-Port Engis multimodal logistics hub. The first terminal, inaugurated in May 2026, occupies approximately 3.5 hectares along the Meuse and comprises 15,000 square metres of warehouse space and a container platform dedicated to the handling of heavy metals, recyclable materials and mineral materials in bulk, packaged and containerised form. A second phase focusing on road de-icing salt storage and handling is expected in the fourth quarter of 2027. In the long term, the investments are expected to create around 15 jobs and enable the annual transport of several hundred thousand tonnes of goods by waterway.
