HRH Princess Astrid, Representative of His Majesty the King of Belgium, who was visiting PSA last week as part of the Belgian Economic Mission in Singapore, bestowed the honour on Fock Siew Wah in a special ceremony.
“It is a rare honour to be conferred this distinction and it is something that I will always cherish in my heart,” Fock said in his thank you address.
“I receive this with gratefulness and a lot of deep feelings for Belgium. I believe it is also a deeper and greater recognition of our people in Belgium, Singapore and around the world where we have a presence, for their hard work and dedication.”
PSA is a significant investor in Belgium ports and PSA Antwerp and PSA Zeebrugge handled around 8m teu last year.
