3 December 2019 | Our family consists of 3,900 employees. All serious experts, who make sure thousands of containers reach their final destination in time. But many of them, are also actively engaged in welfare organisations, in their private lives. And as a company, we would like to lend them our support. That's why every year we set aside a part of our Corporate Social Responsibility budget to support social projects in which our own employees are actively involved.

25 November 2019 - The largest terminal operators in the port of Antwerp are joining forces for the environment again. On Sunday, November 24th, the kick off was given for a joint tree planting, during which 1,250m² of new urban forest was planted at ‘Edegemse Beekvallei’. The trees were planted in collaboration with ‘Natuurpunt’, but also the employees of PSA, MPET and DP World were given the opportunity to lend a helping hand, together with their families.

Tuesday, November 19, 2019 | Today, the ship "Zhen Hua 25" entered the port of Antwerp with two brand new cranes for the Noordzee Terminal. These two container cranes are the last ones in a series of six, in which PSA Antwerp has invested in the past two years.

According to annual tradition, the employees of PSA/MPET/ATS rolled up their sleeves and helped out during the weekly food distributions organized by wellfare organisation 'Kamiano'. During the entire month of October, Kamiano could count on the helping hands of many PSA/MPET/ATS volunteers, who assisted at the restaurant, as well at the gate, the sanitary unit and the clothing distribution. 
 

21 August 2019 | On 19 August, the ms MAERS EVORA called the MSC PSA European Terminal. Within a few days, 8,429 containers, or 13,405 TEU, were handled on this ship alone, which is an absolute volume record for MPET and for the Port of Antwerp in general. Never before in Antwerp, have so many containers been handled on a single vessel during a single visit.

20 mei 2019 | On Saturday 18 and Sunday 19 May, we welcomed over 2,500 employees with their families in Bellewaerde, a large family park in Ypres, West Flanders! 

Saturday 18 May the first families were ready to conquer Bellewaerde. Enough sun and warmth for colleagues and family to try out flashy amusement park rides and visit the zoo.  On Sunday, the weather gods were less friendly, giving us rain showers every now and then, but with raincoat and hoody there was just as much fun!

20 March 2019 | You’re standing on a 50 meter-high quay crane, in the Port of Antwerp, on the largest container terminal of Europe. Right in front of you, a gigantic containership sails by. Containers in every color are being loaded and unloaded around you. In the corner of your eye, your colleague is working on the electric wiring of the crane. ‘I can get used to this view’, is what you are thinking out loud. ‘Will you become our new colleague?’ - the VR simulation ends and you are back in the PSA/MPET/ATS job booth. 

28 December 2018 | In the beginning of December, staff from PSA Zeebrugge flew out to 'de Kleine Dennen' in Knokke. Kleine Dennen is an initiative of non-profit association De Patio, which offers accommodation, live-on-you-own training* and context guidance to youngsters in precarious conditions. The entire living area of the youngsters was completely repainted and revamped with brand new furniture.

17 December 2018 | Also this year, Kamiano could count on the support of PSA Antwerp, MPET and ATS. For an entire month, our employees went out to serve food every Wednesday afternoon at the Kamiano homeless shelter in the Kammestraat in Antwerp. In addition, our management also handed over a cheque of 12,000€, enough to provide hot meals for one entire month.
