Apart from ro-ro and container traffic, Zeebrugge can also boast a large diversity of general cargo: fresh fruit, fruit juices, sugar, flour, potatoes,  timber and tree trunks, pulp and paper, mineral and chemical products, 'high & heavy' cargoes, etc.

In the inner port Zeebrugge has 2 specialized terminals for the export and distribution of fresh fruit, mainly bananas and kiwis.  Since the installation of large deep freezing areas, Zeebrugge has also gained importance as a discharge and storage port for deep-frozen products (Flanders Cold Center of F.C.C.).  All food products are handled in the northern part of the inner port.
