Senior representative from the Netherlands along with senior officials of Port of Rotterdam (PoR) held meetings with the Gujarat government officials to explore mutual cooperation in the areas of knowledge sharing, port management and development.
Alphonsus Stoelinga, Ambassador of the Kingdom of Netherlands and PoR representatives on Thursday met Gujarat chief minister Vijay Rupani to explore new areas, where further strategic partnership between the two regions can be formed.
Government Officials from Gujarat Maritime Board (GMB) plan to visit Port of Rotterdam in the near future for further exchange of knowledge and to explore business opportunities as well as options of strategic tie-up with some ivy-league institutes in the field of Maritime Education, like STC or Erasmus, for the state’s first Maritime University which is being established by GMB.
Notably, in January 2017, an MoU was signed between the two agencies during the Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit for a strategic collaboration to develop Port and Maritime Sector of the State. The MoU signed with Port of Rotterdam is with the objective of formulating a Maritime Perspective Plan for the Port and Maritime Sector of Gujarat. The Perspective Plan will focus on two main areas; one, framing of a detailed strategic plan for future projects and second being the development of skilled professionals in shipping and transport sectors by working closely with the proposed Gujarat Maritime University.
