\n\tThe first vessels affected by last week’s bunker spill at Antwerp have now departed the port.<\/p>\n


\n\tWork has been continuing throughout the weekend to clean up contaminated vessels and fully reopen the port after a bunker spill at Anwerp’s Deurganck Dock on Thursday night<\/a> temporarily shut down access to the Belgian hub.<\/p>\n


\n\tThe first cleaned vessels were allowed to depart from Antwerp on Saturday night and Sunday morning, and the first new container ships arrived at the port on Sunday, the port authority said in updates over the weekend.<\/p>\n


\n\t“Their number will increase as clean-up operations progress,” the organisation said.<\/p>\n


\n\t“Remaining cleaning operations at the terminals, on vessels, at Galgenschoor and the Lillo jetty are ongoing.”<\/p>\n
