BRUSSELS, Mar 8 (Reuters) A ship carrying containers, cars and trucks capsized while docked in Antwerp today morning, the Belgian port said.

No one was on board at the time. The accident had no impact on traffic in Europe's busiest port, a port spokeswoman said.

The ship belonging to the Grimaldi Group spilled some containers into the water, the spokeswoman said.

The Grimaldi Group declined to comment.

The Verrebroek dock, where the accident took place, has a terminal that imports Fiat cars into the Benelux.
