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.

AXL demonstrates the right way to have proper discussions and find the right time to have a good chat. People are relaxed and comfortable, and they have time to speak and do business.
