Since 2013, ESPO has been putting each month a port in the picture through its “port of the month” articles. After four years, we started with a new series of articles called the “port pro of the month”. Every month, we pay a visit to a port executive who will present us his or her port and also help us understand what it means to lead a European port.
Our port pro of the month is Mr Dirk Pergoot from Bulgarian Ports Infrastructure Company (BPI Co.). In what follows, you will read more about the impacts of the war in Ukraine on the port business and developments, long-term projects and environmental priorities in BPI Co., as well as the importance of the energy in the port sector. Discover below some other interesting topics addressed by our port professional of the month!
