Port of Ostend plans to launch new RoRo line in 2016

According to Laure Martroye, communications manager of the Port of Ostend, there is already demand from the industry for a new roll-on-roll-off line. She cannot say much about a possible operator at the moment. “We are currently following different avenues and negotiations are ongoing. This involves various aspects such as solid financing, finding suitable vessels, etc. As a port, we are trying to provide the necessary support in this. We are counting on a favourable outcome. At this time last year, there was absolutely no movement on that front and now we are quite a bit further on,” Martroye said.
