The port of Antwerp has signed an agreement with the Saint port Pedro, in Ivory Coast, that it renews, for ulterior five years, the understanding which signed in 2011 from the Belgian port of call and that African.
The Harbour Authority of Antwerp has remembered that Saint Pedro is the main world-wide port for the traffic of the cacao and that is developing own role of regional port of call in order to become a hub logistic for handling of goods as fertilizers, cashews and cacao. On such scope the next year will be started the construction of a logistic platform called Saint Pedro Logistique that will cost 5,5 million euros. 35% of the investment will be covered by the Port of Antwerp International (PAIRS), the society of advising and investments of the Belgian harbour authority. The project is got ahead by the Belgian group Sea-Invest, that it is present in Ivory Coast with some branches. The logistic platform will become operating in the summer of the next year.

"This - it has specified the managing director of the Harbour Authority of Antwerp, Eddy Bruyninckx - is the first concrete investment of the port of Antwerp in West Africa. With this clearly engagement we are rimarcando our conviction in the potential one of Saint Pedro. Its geographic position and its connections with Liberia, Guinea and the Evils represent enormous potential benefits for Antwerp that is already leader of market for the West Africa".
