PASEC PORT

What PASEC PORT does

PASEC PORT is a port logistics division operating inside the Port of Antwerp-Bruges, providing cargo handling, temporary storage, and certified port worker coordination. It functions as one operating unit within Gosselin Logistics, which is itself part of the privately held Belgian Gosselin Group founded in 1930 and headquartered in Antwerp along the Albert Canal. The broader Gosselin Logistics portfolio covers forwarding, warehousing (160,000 m²), AEO-certified customs clearance, terminal operations on the Albert Canal, multi-modal transport (barge, sea, air, road, rail), cargo consolidation from China, and exceptional transport permits and pilots; PASEC PORT supplies the port-side handling and warehouse know-how that connects these inland services to the Port of Antwerp-Bruges.

PASEC PORT operates with both operational and administrative staff, with the exact headcount not publicly disclosed at the division level. Its service model is professional services: quote-based, customized engagements rather than published rate cards. The division supports enterprise clients requiring urgent or specialized port-side logistics, including sister companies within Gosselin Group (such as Antwerp Cargo Movers, acquired in 2023) and external industrial customers; a documented case involves handling 900 m³ of sawn wood at short notice for ACM. Technology is not the core proposition here; the moat is operational - certified port workers, AEO/Regulated Agent status inherited from the parent, and physical integration between the seaport, the Gosselin inland terminal on the Albert Canal, and downstream intermodal connections.

At the group level, Gosselin operates 56 offices across 34 countries, employs 1,100-1,500+ people, and generates annual turnover above €450 million. PASEC PORT's economics are not separately disclosed, but its scale is a small fraction of the group, anchored to the Antwerp-Bruges port ecosystem and to the strategic acquisitions and partnerships (ACM, Ineos Project One, BayWa r.e. Solar Trade, Genk-Zuid concession) executed by the parent in recent years.
