Partnership Agreement concluded with Port Authority Zeebrugge

On July 17, Nagoya Port Authority concluded a Partnership Agreement with Port Authority Zeebrugge. Port Authority Zeebrugge, an autonomous company whose main shareholder is the city of Bruges, manages the Port of Zeebrugge, a major coastal port on the Belgian North Sea Coast. The Port handled approx. 1.75 million units of completed automobiles and 1.95 million container TEUs last year.

Mr. Joachim Coens, President Managing Director of Port Authority Zeebrugge, and Mr. Takayuki Kondo, Executive Vice President of Nagoya Port Authority, signed the Partnership Agreement to promote trade not only between the two ports but also between Flanders and the Chubu Region. This is the third such agreement signed by the Port of Nagoya, after similar agreements with Shanghai International Port (Group) Co., Ltd. (SIPG) in November 2011 and the Port Authority of Thailand in October 2012.
