Top TRANSPORT AND LOGISTICS Companies in Belgium
Approximately 115,021 real businesses classified under Transportation and Storage in Belgium, with officer, shareholder and beneficial ownership records sourced directly from official government registries.
Approximately 115,021 real businesses operate in the Transportation and Storage sector across Belgium. A shipping line rarely operates under one legal entity per country — it operates through a network of local agency and subsidiary structures, because freight is inherently cross-border and the paperwork follows the cargo. Road, rail, air, and sea transport, plus logistics, warehousing, and courier services, all carry this same structural feature: the entity issuing the invoice and the entity holding the assets are frequently two different companies in two different jurisdictions.
150 companies in this sector are indexed on Zavia so far, part of a continually growing dataset.
Beneficial-ownership and registration rules for Transportation and Storage companies in Belgium follow the same national framework as every other sector there.

Analysis
What this data actually tells you
Transportation and Storage in Belgium is licensed activity administered by FOD Mobiliteit en Transport (the Federal Public Service for Mobility and Transport). Any natural person or company transporting goods for third parties using a vehicle with a payload over 500kg needs a vervoervergunning (transport licence), an original document that must be kept at the company’s headquarters. Obtaining it requires passing a professional-qualification exam — practically organised by the ITLB — and providing a financial guarantee of €9,000 for the first vehicle plus €5,000 for each additional one.
The licence also carries a trustworthiness condition: the company itself, the people responsible for daily management, and the named transport manager must not have committed serious violations of transport legislation, a condition that can disqualify an applicant regardless of its financial standing. For verification, a Belgian haulier’s company registration says nothing about its actual authority to transport goods — that depends on holding a current vervoervergunning, and confirming the licence’s existence at the company’s registered headquarters is a real, checkable step.

Who uses Belgium transportation and storage ownership data
The three checks this sector's data is most often run for.
Vervoervergunning (transport licence) verification
Any person or company professionally transporting goods for third parties with a vehicle payload over 500kg needs a vervoervergunning, kept as an original document at the company’s headquarters — a distinct authorisation from company registration issued by FOD Mobiliteit en Transport.
Professional qualification and financial-guarantee check
Obtaining the licence requires passing a professional-qualification exam (practically organised by ITLB) and providing a financial guarantee of €9,000 for the first vehicle plus €5,000 for each additional one — real, checkable prerequisites beyond ordinary company registration.
Trustworthiness condition check
The company itself, its daily-management personnel and its transport manager must not have committed serious violations of transport legislation — a trustworthiness condition that can disqualify an otherwise financially and technically qualified applicant.
