Agreement between the Belgian port of Zeebrugge and the British Forth Ports
It has the objective to attract new volumes of containerized trade
June 19, 2013
The Belgian port of Zeebrugge has undersigned an agreement with the harbour group British Forth Ports with the scope to estimate and to pursue opportunity in order to attract new containerized trade. The understanding initially previews to concentrate on the increase of the volumes of traffic in the Belgian port and London Container Terminal (LCT), the terminal containers managed from Forth Ports in the port of Tilbury, that it is of property of the same British group.
The Harbour Authority of Zeebrugge and Forth Ports has emphasized the complementariness of the managed harbour landings place from the two partner, with the Belgian port that are mainly scaled by coming container vessels from the Far East and with the terminal LCT that is particularly active in the traffics with South America.
"Tilbury - the managing director of Forth Ports has commented, Perry Glading - is in an only position in the United Kingdom, to the center of the markets of London and the south-east. Using a service feeder to regulate from Zeebrugge we offer an alternative to the great oceanic ships that need to call single in the ports Belgian in order to serve the United Kingdom".
"The signature of this memorandum of understanding - the president of the Harbour Authority of Zeegrugge has confirmed, Joachim Coens - represents a logical evolution from the moment that the port of Zeebrugge constitutes a bridgehead for markets British, in particular of the London area. Strengthening the ties with Tilbury we head to increase the traffic flows".
