| GreenPort Congress is a meeting place for the port community to discuss and learn the latest in sustainable environmental practice. It offers ways to reduce their carbon foot print and be more sensitive to environmental considerations, both of which are vital to future success. | The Green Ports & Shipping Congress will identify and prioritise the areas that ports-based organisations and shipping companies need to collaborate on to reduce emissions. | Coastlink is a neutral pan-European network dedicated to the promotion of short sea and feeder shipping, and the intermodal transport networks through the ports that support the sector. It is a place for industry professionals to meet and discuss future innovation, economic and environmental considerations – and develop partnerships that will help build a sustainable future. | Greenport Congress Oceania will bring together environmental managers from port authorities, terminal operators, shipping lines and logistics operators to learn about the latest sustainable developments and environmental practices in the Oceanic region and beyond. |

VIGAN manufactures dry agribulk materials handling systems.
Portable pneumatic conveyors or grain pumps, Continuous pneumatic Ship Unloaders on gantry, Mechanical Ship Unloaders and loaders, as well as complete turnkey projects for port terminals, including storage systems, conveying and bagging lines. From project conception to commissioning of installations, VIGAN is your expert partner.
One of the major strengths of the pneumatic unloader concept is that it has been developed to handle a wide variety of commodities extending from free-flowing cargo streams such as grains through to commodities with more corrosive and abrasive characteristics like alumina and fly ash.
Increasing demand for grain storage solutions and silos with larger storage capacities is translating into bigger demand for pneumatic unloaders.
Flexibility in product handling has been helped along by the wide range of unloaders available. For example, besides the larger machines, Vigan produces compact, trailerable units which can deployed in some interesting ways.
