Cork’s China link
Ireland’s Port of Cork and the Chinese Port of Shenzhen have formally signed a Sister Port Agreement which will see both ports developing the trade and shipping business while deepening the understanding and relationship between each other.
The signing took place in the Port of Cork offices during a two day visit of eleven delegates from Shenzhen to the Port of Cork.
The Port of Shenzhen and the Port of Cork are important ports in their respective regions and given the growth of the world’s shipping industry, they face common opportunities as well as challenges.
This sister port agreement will see the leadership and management of both ports maintaining regular contact and will look to send staff for an exchange of visits to their respective ports to discuss issues of mutual benefit and further enrich the cooperation and collaboration between both ports. There will also be an agreement to recommend beneficial partners to each other.
