Singapore: PSA HNN and Samskip have announced that they will jointly develop of the Port of Zeebrugge (pictured) as a hub for shortsea container activities in Northern Europe. Frank Kho, head PSA HNN container division said: "PSA HNN is a highly experienced deepsea terminal operator but we recognised some time ago that we were ignoring a potentially huge extra source of business, namely the fast-growing shortsea market. We have studied closely the special needs of shortsea operators and together with Samskip we have developed a product that will ensure the fast and efficient processing of shortsea containers through the Port of Zeebrugge." The first service will call at PSA HNN's Container Handling Zeebrugge terminal on January 18, 2007.
PSA HNN was formed in 2002 through the merger of Singapore based terminal operator PSA and Hesse-Noord Natie (Belgium). PSA operates an extensive global network of 20 port projects in 11 countries across China, Europe, India, Korea and SE Asia and Japan. [10/01/07]
