Antwerp/Brazil collaboration
The port of Antwerp has signed a collaboration agreement with the Brazilian state of Sao Paulo aimed at further strengthening the good trade relations with that country.
Antwerp is already the market leader in trade between South America and Europe.
The ceremony was held on the occasion of Intermodal South America, an international trade exhibition with the focus on freight transport, logistics and foreign trade. The port of Antwerp was represented at this event by the Port Authority and various private sector players.
Brazil is a country with enormous potential that is expected to gain in significance in future, and the Antwerp port community is keen to further develop relations with this important trading partner.
The federal state of Sao Paulo for its part is home to Santos, the largest port in Latin America, along with Sao Sebastio, a port with large expansion plans. The agreement that has just been signed runs until the end of 2016.
