The port of Antwerp (Belgium) and the port of Nagoya (Japan) have announced the renewal of a collaboration agreement that was first signed 25 years ago.

The formal signing of the renewed twinning agreement was held on 28 August during a ceremony on the construction site for the new Deurganckdocklock, by executive vice-president Takayuki Kondo (Nagoya) and Antwerp Port Authority chairman Marc Van Peel and CEO Eddy Bruyninckx.

The new twinning agreement will see Nagoya and Antwerp port authorities collaborate on projects that further strengthen the links between the two ports, while also sharing best practices in port management and examining ways to further promote trade between the ports.
