The Port of Rotterdam has launched its Asian website, which is available in both Chinese and English.

The site is an online hub which provides relevant information and news to Asian businesses, according to the port.

“Good cooperation starts with good communication,” said Allard Castelein, CEO of the Port of Rotterdam. “Our new Asian website is an investment in this.”

Castelein added that the website is particularly important because Rotterdam has a tradition of strong ties with Asia.

“Good trade relations between the Netherlands and Asia have existed since the beginning of the 17^th century,” he said. “Today, in 2016, Rotterdam is not only Europe’s largest port, but also the most important one in terms of import and export trade with this continent.”
