Port of Ostend from municipal company to public limited liability company

“This step towards a new legal entity is necessary to give the port of Ostend more decisiveness,” said Björn Anseeuw, who as a city councillor for N-VA raised the issue. “It is a very important dossier for Ostend because the stakes are more investments, more wealth creation and more jobs in the region. We have a port with very distinctive features but also a lot of assets that we should be able to make better use of. The transformation will make a difference,” he stressed.
