Webinar Life sciences & Healthcare: the maritime alternative

We, as 2nd port in Europe, have made significant efforts in making our entire port platform GDP compliant. This means all Antwerp actors in your maritime supply chain are ready to serve you according to the Good Distribution Practice Guidelines set by the EU.
