The port of Antwerp:
more than ever the engine of the Flemisch economy
|
PRECONDITIONS FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PORT
|
Antwerp is the second-largest port in Europe. But despite the significant advantages by its location and multimodal connections, Antwerp's current position can not be taken for granted, as freight is becoming more and more 'footloose" in the market. The existing connections between maritime transhipment, trade, industry and logistics services offer the best possibilities for actually binding freight to Antwerp.
|
To bring about the sustainable development of the port of Antwerp, Alfaport Antwerpen sees five preconditions as being essential:
|
|
Timely investment in infrastructure
|
|
|
|
A modern, flesible labour force tailored to the needs of companies
|
|
|
|
Space for sustainable enterprise
|
|
|
|
Bringing the sypply of training into balance with the demand for labour in the port
|
|
|
|
A secure port
|
|
