Cewez vzw – the Central Organisation of Employers in Zeebrugge – is the only body officially recognised by Royal Decree for employers hiring dock workers in the ports of Zeebrugge-Bruges, Ostend and Nieuwpoort. Membership with Cewez vzw is mandatory for all employers in order to comply with the Codex and labour and social security legislation.
