Book 'Harbour Life' shows port as warm community with many women

Attendees at CEPA’s New Year’s reception went home with a remarkable gift: a fine book about the port of Antwerp: ‘Harbour Life’ by Patrick Verhoeven. “The idea for the book came about a year ago,” says Verhoeven. “Port alderman Marc Van Peel was keen to have a new, classic visitor’s guide compiled for the general public. From there, the idea arose to map the port through portraits of people who live and work in and around the port.”
