GREENPORT CRUISE AND CONGRESS RESCHEDULED

20 – 22 October 2021, Piraeus, Greece

As a result of the Covid-19 pandemic and likely impact, the GreenPort Congress 2020 has been rescheduled and will now take place on 20-22 October 2021 in Piraeus, Greece.

The primary reason for rescheduling is the health and safety of all attendees and staff and in the true spirit of GreenPort Congress, it makes sense for everyone to meet safely at a time when they will be able to take full advantage of the networking opportunities and travel free of worry.

“GreenPort Congress is an established and relied upon event amongst port professionals. In a time of such uncertainty, we have been working to ensure continuity for the port community and that we deliver the proven meeting place to exchange the latest in sustainable environmental practice,” said Andrew Webster, chief executive of Mercator Media, organiser of the conference.

REFRESHED PROGRAMME

It’s now the GreenPort team’s intention to refresh the programme to include the latest industry developments and allow for those contributors who may have missed the opportunity to present at this year’s event.

GreenPort Cruise & Congress 2021 will cover a range of themes including the financial and technical challenges to onshore power supply, ports getting ahead for new fuels, collaborative community projects, sustainable transport and logistics in the hinterland connections of the port, eco-cruise ships and sustainable cruise initiatives in Europe.

The GreenPort Cruise & Congress brings together the whole port community, providing over 150 key decision makers from port authorities, terminal operators, shipping lines, logistics operators. The Congress is a meeting place to both learn about and discuss the latest in sustainable development and environmental best practice to enable them to effectively implement the changes needed to reduce their carbon footprint and to be more sensitive to environmental considerations.

The GreenPort team looks forward to delivering a successful event in Piraeus on 20-22 October 2021 and meeting with all the speakers, sponsors and delegates once again. It would like to thank all supporters for their understanding during this unprecedented time.
