Alliances & Joint Ventures Chennai port, Belgium sign MoU Our Bureau Chennai, Sept. 22 The Chennai Port Trust has signed a fresh memorandum of understanding with the Port of Zeebrugge (Belgium). A press release issued here to this effect says that earlier, in 1997 the two ports signed an MoU with the intention of cooperating in various fields related to maritime transportation and port development and working together as sister ports. The co-operation extended to all aspects of port activity and transfer of technology between the two ports. At that point of time, both ports laid accent on handling of bulk cargoes such as coal and iron ore. Over the last few years, the focus of Zeebrugge Port has shifted to handling of clean cargoes such as cars and containers. In these circumstances, since both ports are working towards a common goal, the need to draft a fresh MoU was realised. According to the release, the fresh MoU is expected to enlarge the scope of cooperation between the two ports and enable active interaction between the management and personnel of the two ports for their mutual benefits. Chennai port in particular will draw on the available expertise in Zeebrugge Port in the field of containers, car carriers and cruise vessels, says the release.
