Each year, over 16 million tonnes of cargo are handled between the Port of Antwerp and the UK. After Brexit it is the Port’s intention to continue to be the preferred European transport & distribution hub for UK products.
To demonstrate this continued commitment, Port of Antwerp will be holding a Trade & Logistics Roadshow in Birmingham on 13th February 2019 and in London on 14th February 2019.
The events will be highly interactive and give all parties the opportunity to investigate together how they can optimise your cargo and transport flows through Antwerp.
Later this month we will forward a more detailed programme. In the meantime, please mark your calendar and save the date for one or both of these highly interesting events.
If you have any questions please contact Justin Atkin (Justin.Atkin@portofantwerp.com).

Dear all,
Following feedback from delegates and potential speakers, we have taken the decision to postpone the North East Water Freight Event to a date in the new year - now Wednesday, 6th February 2019. The event will not take place on 16th November as previously stated.
Apologies for any inconvenience this change may cause.
This is in order to maximise attendance and provide the best agenda we can. The event remains at the National Glass Centre, Liberty Way, Sunderland SR6 0GL. We will hear from a number of the region’s Ports (including Port of Sunderland), have updates on developing strategy and policy, the Freight Transport Association and others. There will be a chance to network and lunch will be provided.
A more detailed agenda will be sent out in due course.

About the Partnership click to find out more..
The North East Freight Partnership was first established in 2005 (as the Tyne and Wear Freight Partnership) and represents a collaboration between freight operators, local authorities, academics, freight user groups, industry associations and anyone with an interest in freight. In 2015, it extended its remit to include Durham and Northumberland, as well as the five Tyne and Wear authorities, so it now covers the same geographical footprint as the North East Combined Authority.
The aim of the Partnership is to promote safe, efficient and sustainable freight movement in the region. Each year, the Partnership offers a programme of activities to help achieve our goals. This includes quarterly meetings, online resources, training, promotion of Best Practice, trials of the latest technology and promotion of fleet accreditation schemes and cycle safety initiatives. Please browse the website for more information or contact us directly on the details provided. Our meetings are free to attend and open to anyone who shares the goals of the Partnership.
