    Par quatorze voix pour et quatre contre, le conseil d'administration de l'Entreprise portuaire s'est donc prononcée pour le compromis qui consiste à donner au consortium P&O Ports/P&ONL/Duisport le troisième terminal à containers sur le versant est de la future darse à marée sur la Rive gauche, tandis que le reste du versant est a été attribué à raison de 390 m à la joint-venture Hessenatie/MSC et le quatrième terminal à la future entité fusionnée Hessenatie/Noord Natie. Au cours d'une conférence de presse qui a suivi cette décision, l'échevin du port Leo Delwaide a insisté sur le fait que le conseil d'administration a jugé qu'une situation de monopole n'était pas une bonne chose et qu'il fallait donc maintenir une certaine concurrence.
