Port of Rotterdam CEO calls for more infrastructure spending from EU

The CEO of the Port of Rotterdam Authority Allard Castelein has called on the EU to step up its investments in the infrastructure of ports and hinterland connections.

Castelein stated: “A port is only as strong as its hinterland connections. Solid infrastructure connections to and from ports and port-industrial complexes are of crucial importance for European prosperity and employment.”

In particular, he called for the expansion of the Connecting European Facility (CEF) to include European energy transition projects.
