Jacques Vandermeiren, our newly elected regional vice-president for Europe, visited the IAPH office in Tokyo on 18 February. Jacques led a delegation from the Port of Antwerp-Bruges on a visit to major Japanese ports and key customers to further develop mutual relations. Jacques and the delegation were welcomed by IAPH secretary-general Masahiko Furuichi and members of the IAPH finance and administration team. In the January-February issue of Ports & Harbors magazine you can read more about Jacques’ views on the role of global ports in an era characterised by significant geopolitical challenges.
