Les quais ont une longueur totale de 70 km. Notre illustration représente le bassin Georges V, le bassin Albert (à droite) et, (en haut), le bassin Victoria récemment reconstruit. Les trois bassins réunis forment le plus grand ensemble de docks du monde. Cinquante navires d'un tonnage global de plus de 500.000 tonnes peuvent s'y ranger à quai simultanément.
