Port Authority chooses cooperation with Korean trade association

Antwerp hopes to attract more traffic from Korea with the agreement. The Korean organisation also sees a role for Antwerp as a gateway to Europe for Kurdish cargo. “In 2015, 77,000 teu went to Antwerp. Trade between Belgium and Korea should be increased and the port of Antwerp should play a role in this,” Mr Jungsoo KIM, executive managing director of KITA, stated during the contact with the city mission. Together with Jacques Vandermeiren, he signed the agreement, which focuses mainly on the promotion of the logistics network in Antwerp and the exchange of information.
