delegation of Iranian petrochemical experts explored grounds for cooperation on the export of Iranian petrochemicals in a meeting with the head of Antwerp Port in Belgium on Thursday. In the meeting attended by Frank Geerkens and Marzieh Shahdaei, the head of National Petrochemical Company, the two sides discussed expanding bilateral collaboration in health, safety and environment (HSE) training as well as using the port as a gateway for supplying Iran's petrochemical products to Europe, IRNA reported on Friday. "We are ready to provide NPC's staff with advanced HSE and firefighting training courses," Geerkens said, noting that Belgium's Port of Antwerp can help Iran expand its foothold in the global petrochemical market. Pointing to his interest in touring Pars Special Economic Energy Zone and Mahshahr Port in southern Iran, Geerkens looked forward to visiting Iran in the near future.
