zeebrugge

anyone RIB'ed to Zeebrugge recently?

Is there petrol quayside? Any other local knowledge? I'm likely to be arriving for the first time in the dark next week.

hi daniel

we went to uk a couple of times from holland
it is easier to go to Blankenberge.
Nice place with fuel on the quaysite and next to Zeebrugge.
Dunkerque is an other possibility.

thanks for replies. yes i've been to both dunkirk and blankenberge, both nicer places i am sure but i'm meeting people in zeebrugge.

if anyone knows if petrol is available there this would be excellent, otherwise i will try to call the marina.

thanks

Zeebrugge

Hey Daniel,

We use Zeebrugge for launching our rib. There is no petrol in Zeebrugge. Only Diesel. But you can easily refuel in Blankenberge. That it only 3 miles away from Zeebrugge.

rgs,

Paul
