Amsterdam • State oil company Qatar Petroleum and Europe's biggest port of Rotterdam have agreed to a long-term cooperation on strategy and development, the port said in a statement on Friday.
Rotterdam will help Qatar Petroleum to develop its Ras Laffan port, and in return the Dutch port hopes to gain closer links to the world's largest exporter of liquefied natural gas (LNG).
"With this cooperation Port of Rotterdam wants to strengthen its position as Europe's main energy port, especially in the supply chain for LNG and associated hydrocarbon products," the port's Chief Executive Hans Smits said. The cooperation was laid out in an MoU during a visit of Qatar’s Prime Minister and Foreign Minister H E Sheikh Hamad bin Jassem bin Jabor Al Thani to the Netherlands this week.
