Dedicated to the breakbulk, project cargo, roro and heavy lift industries
THE FUTURE OF BREAKBULK
AXL was first held in 2019 and quickly established itself as a key event in the maritime and logistics calendar. After its successful inaugural edition, the exhibition continued to grow, despite interruptions due to the COVID-19 pandemic, returning stronger in subsequent years.
The event is strategically located in Antwerp, home to one of the largest ports in Europe, making it an ideal venue for an exhibition focused on breakbulk and project cargo. AXL returned in 2024 to bring the breakbulk community together again to showcase innovative technology, overcome industry challenges, and build relationships based on trust.
Our visitors AXL attracts over 3.800+ project cargo owners, freight forwarders, EPCs, ports and more from every corner of the globe. Additionally, AXL offers numerous networking opportunities for exhibitors and visitors to further their crucial business conversations.
