Maritime activities promoted in and around Schottegat

In its endeavor to increase maritime-related activities in the harbor of Curaçao, Curaçao Ports Authority made good progress extending its contract with the Dutch company Van Oord Marine Ingenuity. On June 30th, they also signed a new contract with the local company Nederex and the Dutch shipyard Scheepswerf Damen. Since 2003, Van Oord has exploited commercial activities as an added value to the harbor, and the new agreement provides a modern prolongation of this presence. Nederex, which has already been working with CPA, now joins with Damen for ship repair and the provision of maritime services. The new agreement with Nederex/Damen is a next step on the road to explore the possibilities of more and a greater variety of marine activities in and around the main harbor of Curaçao.
