Ports of Antwerp-Zeebrugge and Nagoya ink cooperation deal

The Belgian Port of Antwerp-Zeebrugge and Japan’s Port of Nagoya signed a renewed cooperation agreement to further expand their trade relations and deepen their collaboration.

The agreement was signed on 7 December, while the Port of Antwerp-Bruges is participating in the princely economic mission to Japan this week.

In this context, a Sisterport/Partnership deal was signed on 7 December by Jacques Vandermeiren, CEO of Port of Antwerp-Bruges, and Yuji Kamata, executive vice president of Port of Nagoya.

Jacques Vandermeiren, CEO Port of Antwerp Bruges, and Yuju Kamata, Executive Vice President Port of Nagoya, shake hands after signing the Sisterport/Partnership Agreement.

According to Port of Antwerp-Bruges, this agreement is a perpetuation of a long, fruitful relationship between the two ports that dates back to 1988 and has already been renewed in 2013.

“Japan plays a leading role in the automotive sector and the Port of Nagoya is Japan’s largest export port for cars. In turn, our Port of Antwerp-Bruges is the world’s largest Ro-Ro port and the most important European import port for cars. Intensive cooperation between these two ports is therefore economically very interesting,” commented Annick De Ridder vice-mayor of the City of Antwerp and president of Port of Antwerp-Bruges.

She added, “Moreover, both ports share the same great ambitions when it comes to energy transition. So the official ratification of the ‘sister port’ is a powerful signal for both the unified port and the Port of Nagoya and the economies they both serve.”
