Apart from the Port of Antwerp, workers at the Port of Brugge and Port of Gent have also stopped working today, closing all three ports in the country. Several industrial areas throughout the country have also been blocked by strikers, blocking many factories from operating or receiving goods. A Volvo plant had to shut down entirely today.
Brussels Airport is operating at 40% strength and Charleroi Airport, the second largest, is shut down entirely.
Train services are disrupted in the entire country. In Flanders, 25% of the trains are running, in Walonia, it is practically 0%.
Logistically speaking the country is hit hard, but a lot of people are either striking or working from home, as office workers tend to strike less.
