New board member for Port of Antwerp

The Port of Antwerp has appointed a representative for Austria and Hungary to its board. Walter Holzhammer is now reinforcing the international representative network of the Port.

He will act on behalf of the Belgian port in Austria and Hungary in the future and will continue to develop Antwerp’s links to the important hinterland regions. His appointment underlines the commitment by the Antwerp Port Authority to expand sustainable and efficient transport services to and from hinterland destinations in Central and Eastern Europe.

Chief Commercial Officer, Antwerp Port Authority, Luc Arnouts said: “The countries of Austria and Hungary form a strategic interface to the markets of Southern, Central and Eastern Europe because of their geographical location. We’ve been able to gain an expert in the shape of Walter Holzhammer, who will communicate our particular location advantages in the market and therefore press ahead with the expansion of regular, fast scheduled services, particularly by rail.”
