Ghent Port Company is constructing a visitors centre in the port. In this new building at the Rigakaai on the border between the city and the present-day port, from spring of 2013 onwards, all organized port visits will start from there. It will be an eye-catching and recognizable construction that will be set up by using sustainable techniques and materials. Tetra, four young architects from Brussels, are responsible for its design. On Tuesday, 17 April 2012 the laying of the foundation stone was celebrated. With this visitors centre, Ghent Port Company wants to play along with the growing interest for Ghent port.
