WHERE THE MARITIME AND LOGISTICS WORLD MEETS IN BELGIUM, SINCE 2019.
FIRST EDITION
AXL was first launched in 2019 and quickly made its mark as a key event in the global maritime and logistics calendar. Despite the challenges brought by the COVID-19 pandemic, the exhibition continued to grow in scale and relevance, returning each year with renewed strength and momentum.
FUTURE OF BREAKBULK
Looking ahead, AXL remains committed to shaping the future of breakbulk and project cargo. By fostering collaboration and spotlighting innovation, the event continues to be a driving force in helping the industry adapt, evolve, and thrive.
A STRATEGIC LOCATION
Antwerp, home to one of Europe’s largest and most dynamic ports, provides the ideal setting for an event focused on breakbulk and project cargo. This unique location connects AXL directly with the heart of European trade and transport.
INNOVATION & CONNECTION
In 2024, AXL once again brought the breakbulk community together to explore new technologies, address industry challenges, and strengthen relationships. From cargo handling innovations to futureproof strategies, the event offered a dynamic mix of insight, networking, and forward thinking.
PARTNERS & CHARITY
AXL is proud to collaborate with Port of Antwerp-Bruges, our main strategic partner. As a leading European port, it plays a crucial role in connecting global logistics players and shaping the future of sustainable transport.
In addition, AXL supports Mercy Ships — an inspiring charity that delivers free, life-changing healthcare to communities in need via hospital ships. Together, we aim to make a positive impact, both in the industry and beyond.
