Maryland signs MOU with Calais

Under the MOU, the MPA and Port of Calais may elect to undertake joint marketing efforts to generate new shipping business, share data that may be helpful in forecasting future trade flows, and exchange information on training programmes.

“We look forward to utilising this agreement as a way to generate new cargo opportunities and to share best practices with the Port of Calais,” said MPA Director of Marketing Richard Powers.

The MPA has similar agreements with other ports including Adani Ports (India); Nagoya (Japan); Gdynia (Poland); Genoa (Italy); Sokhna (Egypt); Tallin (Estonia) and Cotonou (Africa).
