REINFORCEMENT OF COOPERATION BETWEEN THE PORT OF ANTWERP AND ABIDJAN PORT

Tuesday 16 November 2021

Mr. Kristof WATERSHOOT, Manager Director of International Port of Antwerp in Belgium took the opportunity of a mission to Cote d’Ivoire to request an audience with his counterpart from Abidjan Port Authority, Mr. Hien Yacouba SIÉ.

During the audience which was granted on 1st October, 2021 by the Top Manager of Abidjan Port Authority, the Antwerp Port Authority justified his presence within the framework of the reinforcement of cooperation relation between Port of Antwerp and Port of Abidjan.

In addition, to an effective partnership between the two ports in terms of traffic, Mr. WATERSCHOOT expressed the willingness of his port to engage in a tighter collaboration with Abidjan Port in different fields such as training, expertise and know-how. His Ivorian counterpart welcomed these proposals and expressed his eagerness to take this opportunity to improve the performance of this port platform, which, as from 2022, is expected to record a growth in the volume of traffic with the port of Antwerp after the completion of the development works.
