The announcement from the port of Antwerp yesterday detailing its reasons for allowing its biggest containerline customer MSC to transfer its contractual terminal arrangements from inside the lock to the outside facility at Deurganckdok has been followed by a short welcoming response from the Geneva-headquartered carrier.
