Great Britain wants to collaborate more intensively with the port of Zeebrugge

That is what the new British Minister of European Affairs said during a working visit. Zeebrugge plays a major role in Europe for the storage and distribution of natural gas, and in the future also for green hydrogen.

The brand new British Minister of European Affairs starts his reconnaissance tour in Zeebrugge. With an export of more than 60 percent, the coastal port is an important link in the British economy. Moreover, Zeebrugge is an important hub for gas distribution within Europe.

The Briton emphasizes once again that his view and that of his government on cooperation with Europe and with Zeebrugge is not that different from before Brexit. The minister also gives a pat on the back for our approach to the problem of transmigrants crossing the channel from our beaches.
