Antwerp Dry Dock Company

The Antwerp Dry Dock Company was a shipbuilding and maintenance facility located in Antwerp, Belgium, during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It specialized in constructing, repairing, and servicing ships, particularly large vessels such as cargo ships and military vessels. The company operated modern dry docks—large, enclosed basins where ships can be safely lifted out of the water for repairs or construction. Its strategic location in Antwerp made it an important hub for maritime trade and naval activities, contributing to Belgium’s maritime industrial capabilities during that period.
