Polish translation in Antwerp: port workers and construction community
Antwerp's Polish community is closely connected to the city's two dominant economic sectors: the port of Antwerp and the construction industry. Polish workers arrived in significant numbers following Poland's EU accession in 2004, attracted by the demand for skilled port workers, crane operators, stevedores and construction tradespeople in and around Antwerp.
This community generates specific translation needs: employment contracts, social security documents, occupational health records and civil status documents for workers who often have families in both Poland and Belgium.
