Busan Port Authority and Adani Ports & SEZ conclude MOU

The Busan Port Authority announced that it concluded a memorandum of understanding with Adani Ports & Special Economic Zone Limited, India’s private port operator, on July 18 for port logistics businesses in India.

On June 19, the BPA concluded a development agreement for establishing a distribution center with the Port of Rotterdam Authority and has been striving for other logistics business opportunities in ASEAN nations.
