Port Everglades adds sister ports

Port Everglades adds sister ports Port Everglades is marking the growth of new trade lanes, forming International Sister Seaports agreements with the Port of Olbia, Italy, on the island of Sardinia; and with the Port of Shanghai, China.
   'Sister Seaports programs are often ceremonial, although we believe that Port Everglades will benefit in terms of developing new ideas, business contacts, cultural understanding and international trade promotion,' said Phillip C. Allen, port director. 'Sister Seaports add a sense of humanity and accessibility to large organizations that are often separated by language and thousands miles.'
