to customers and creating a<br />
business-friendly climate in the<br />

on serving existing customers,<br />
but also on attracting new clients<br />
and new cargo flows through<br />
marketing and promotion.<br />
2. The construction, replacement<br />
and maintenance of the port<br />
infrastructure; as well as the<br />
management of the Westpoort<br />
port section.<br />
