Another dozen new projects good for a thousand jobs at port

In an interview with Gazet van Antwerpen, Port Alderman Marc Van Peel (CD&V) announced the thousand extra jobs. It would involve another ten new projects to be realised in the port in the near future, his spokeswoman confirmed. She also refers to last week’s council committee where, in the context of a number of points around work and industry, it looked at what has been brought in in terms of investments in the port in recent years. This showed that in four years, 24 investment projects were realised for a total amount of EUR 5 billion. In the process, 400 to 450 jobs were created.
