"We are looking for a tie up with players in the port sectors provided they come to us and if it meets certain criteria and if we can add value to it then we will take up the project," Port of Antwerp India Representative Raj Khalid told PTI.        

"There have been enquiries and offer to partner with us," he said, but the Antwerp port has been choosy about its partnership.        

"Once we find the right partners then we will even invest in those projects," he said.        

The Port of Antwerp, which has more than 60 years experience in the field, would offer its services as a port consultant in India.        

"We are a landlord port and good at managing it. Indian ports follow the same pattern. So we can share our management skills with the local players," he said.
