Descartes Systems Group (Nasdaq:DSGX) (TSX:DSG), the global leader in uniting
logistics-intensive businesses in commerce, announced that the Port of Antwerp
has renewed its use of the Descartes Global Network (Descartes GLN) for

movement of goods across borders. The solution supports the exchange of
electronic data and documents between port authorities, freight forwarders,
shippers, ocean carriers, shipping agents, terminal operators, and other
related companies and government agencies. 

"We are honored to continue to help the Port of Antwerp simplify the electronic
exchange of data between companies and authorities, and to support the port

goods with the port authority and WebGC for declaring temporary storage with
customs authorities. The Descartes GLN also supports a wide array of
value-added logistics services that span the entire shipment management process
from contract management to cargo bookings, shipment tracking, security and
trade compliance filings, and more.
