On 7 July, the Ports of Antwerp and Liege signed an agreement aiming to boost multimodal inland connections between them. Rail freight has a prominent role in their plans to enhance connectivity and better cargo distribution. However, as the port of Antwerp mentioned, there is a strong possibility that the ports’ rail connections would not restrict only within Belgium. Specifically, plans include an extension of the rail link between China and Liege to Antwerp.
