En daar willen ze zich nu meer op gaan richten.<\/p>\n<p>De verklaring, ondertekend door de Vlaamse minister-president Matthias Diependaele, de Nederlandse premier Rob Jetten en Marcus Optendrenk, minister van Financi\u00ebn van Noordrijn-Westfalen, bevat nog geen echt concrete voorbeelden. Toch wordt in de verklaring toegezegd om de haven en het industri\u00eble cluster te ontwikkelen tot een strategische hefboom voor innovatie, energiezekerheid en industri\u00eble transitie.<\/p>\n<h4>Geautomatiseerd goederenvervoer, zowel over land als over water<\/h4>\n<p>De prioriteiten die in de slotverklaring worden genoemd, zijn: circulaire waardeketens en een grensoverschrijdende markt voor grondstoffen; versnelde uitbreiding van de energie-infrastructuur voor zowel het transport als de opslag van CO\u2082 en waterstof; het veerkrachtiger maken van het binnenvaartvervoer tegen droogte, plotselinge overstromingen en verzilting; en innovatieve logistiek door middel van geautomatiseerd vrachtvervoer, zowel over land als over water, met een gedeelde infrastructuur voor het opladen, het verwisselen van accu\u2019s en het tanken.<\/p>\n<p>Drones zullen ook een rol spelen bij inspecties, milieumonitoring en crisisrespons.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-195340 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newmobility.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Haventop_ARRRA-visual.jpg.png?resize=640%2C453&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"453\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newmobility.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Haventop_ARRRA-visual.jpg-scaled.png?resize=1024%2C724&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newmobility.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Haventop_ARRRA-visual.jpg-scaled.png?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newmobility.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Haventop_ARRRA-visual.jpg-scaled.png?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>ARRRA als strategisch Europees haven- en industriecluster<\/h4>\n<p>Daarnaast vragen de drie regio\u2019s de Europese Commissie om ARRRA te erkennen als een strategisch Europees haven- en industriecluster. Ze willen ook snellere beslissingen over grensoverschrijdende infrastructuur, duidelijkere regelgeving en betere financiering voor grote transitieprojecten.<\/p>\n<p>Volgens Rob Smeets, CEO van Antwerp-Bruges, ligt de echte meerwaarde van de overeenkomst in het wegwerken van grensovergangen en het omzetten van woorden in daden. Ook de samenwerking met derde landen speelt hierbij een rol.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe moeten concurreren waar dat nodig is en samenwerken waar dat mogelijk is\u201d, zegt Boudewijn Siemons, CEO van de Haven van Rotterdam. Hij geeft bijvoorbeeld het volgende voorbeeld: \u201cAls we naar China of Singapore gaan, gaan we afzonderlijk. Maar als we samen gaan, gaan alle deuren open.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>Afscheid nemen van oude melkkoeien<\/h4>\n<p>Rotterdam en Antwerpen-Brugge zijn de enige twee Europese havens in de wereldtop 20 en staan onbetwist op de eerste en tweede plaats in Europa. Toch zakken ze al jaren gestaag weg op de wereldranglijst.<\/p>\n<p>De top 10 wordt nu bijna volledig gedomineerd door Chinese megahavens zoals Shanghai, Ningbo-Zhoushan en Shenzhen, en Aziatische knooppunten zoals Singapore en Busan.<\/p>\n<p>De oorzaken van deze tragere groei zijn van geopolitieke aard, zoals een scherpe daling van de invoer uit de Perzische Golf en de containerexport naar de VS. Tegelijkertijd moeten er investeringen worden gedaan in de groene transitie \u2013 een structurele uitdaging op kortere termijn, die druk uitoefent op de grote afhankelijkheid van de havens van fossiele brandstoffen en chemicali\u00ebn.<\/p>\n<p>Ook de Europese industrie \u2013 en met name de Duitse industrie \u2013 maakt moeilijke tijden door als gevolg van hoge energieprijzen, een zwakke consumentenvraag en geopolitieke spanningen.<\/p>\n<p>Zo dwingen de toenemende spanningen in en rond de Rode Zee schepen ertoe om via Afrika te varen, wat de vaarschema\u2019s en de containerstroom naar Noord-Europa aanzienlijk verstoort.<\/p>\n<p>De droogte van deze zomer heeft ook de binnenvaart op de Rijn zwaar getroffen. Aangezien beide havens aan de Rijn liggen, heeft dit ook geleid tot extra kosten en operationele verstoringen.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At a Port Summit in Meise, the ports of Flanders, the Netherlands, and North Rhine-Westphalia signed an agreement to collaborate more closely and effectively in the future, particularly in circular value chains and automated freight transport.
