Duisberg – Antwerp extend
The German Port of Duisburg and the Belgian Port of Antwerp will work more closely in the future, in order to intensify rail and barge transport between the two regions and their hinterland.
A Memorandum of Understanding signed in 1999 was renewed this month and the intensified cooperation will go well beyond the current plans to extend intermodal rail freight transport. It will strive for the qualitative reinforcement of the logistic corridor between the ports.
The two partners are also considering mutual investments in the ports. Joint advice on possible investment projects will be exchanged in future as part of this cooperation. In the past, the Port of Duisburg had taken a stake in the container terminal Antwerp Gateway on the left bank of the river Scheldt.
