A fire on the Silver Sun at a dry dock in Antwerp trapped 25 people due to heavy smoke but was quickly controlled, prompting a medical emergency plan.

Rotterdam and Antwerp-Bruges, which are Europe’s two largest container ports, have both suffered declines in their throughputs for the first nine months of 2023. Overall traffic at both ports was also down on the same period of 2022.

The Netherlands and Colombia are preparing a treaty to intensify bilateral cooperation in the fight against drugs trafficking.
