The Port of Antwerp has announced that it has intensified its cooperation with Indian multi-modal operators, after the signing of an MOU (Memorandum of Understanding) in Mumbai with the interdisciplinary organisation Association of Multimodal Transport Operators of India (AMTOI).
With the signing of the MOU, Industry partners from Antwerp and India will, amongst other things, exchange information through the digital platform 'India Natie', and will in the near future work together more closely in the area of multi-modal transport.
Through the cooperation, Indian carriers and shippers will in the future be able to forward goods from and to the European hinterland more easily through the Port of Antwerp.
The signing of the MOU took place during the 'Annual Port of Antwerp Reception' on Wednesday 8 February in Mumbai.
The road show took place simultaneously with different events, at which the logistic and maritime possibilities of the Port of Antwerp were explained more detailed.
In the name of the Port of Antwerp, Marc Van Peel and the delegated chairman of port operations Eddy Bruyninckx signed the MOU.
