Rudi De Meyer new director Port Centre Lillo

De Meyer (57) should thoroughly overhaul the Port Centre and once again enthuse more visitors and young people for the engine of the Antwerp and Flemish economy.

The new director is no stranger to the Antwerp port community. Rudi de Meyer started his career at Flows’ predecessor, transport newspaper De Lloyd. He then became director of the Antwerp Shipping Association (ASV) and even later he moved over to become deputy director of Alfaport. In his spare time, he chairs vzw De Steenschuit, a social training project for long-term jobseekers, which is building a replica of the three-master Belgica.
