Who are we ?

The Maritime Sector's trade group of the Belgian Transport Union (BTB) represents employees who work "on" the water. We represent not only skippers, officers, and sailors from the merchant navy or Belgian inland navigation but also the personnel of Belgian sea fishermen, the sailing personnel of passenger shipping, the dredging sector, and port and sea tugs. Finally, fish filers from warehouses and river and canal workers can also count on our advocacy.
These are not the largest sectors in the Belgian transport sector, but due to the nature of the work and the very specific labour regulations, they are very vulnerable sectors that we at BTB surround with great care and expertise.
