The headquarters of ESPO are in Brussels and include a General Assembly, an Executive Committee and 8 special committees.[1] The ESPO represents the interests of the seaports of the European Union.[1][2][3] ESPO represents over 98 percent of the seaports of the European Union,[3] and has direct communication with 500 European ports.[3]
