A way through the growth of Green

Called GreenPort, the publication will provide news and analysis.

It has already been noted as subject that needs addressing. “Governments around the world view ports and terminals as critical infrastructure assets, which are subject to government control and regulations,” said Datamonitor Research. “Their ability to ‘go green’ by reducing their carbon footprint and by being more sensitive to environmental considerations will be vital to their future success.“

Mercator Media has teamed up with EWP Communications in order to develop the publication and events which will provide ports with crucial content on aspects of sustainable environmental practice. It also aims to help them implement the necessary changes effectively.

The next in the series of events will be ‘GreenPort Logistics 2011’ and ‘Energy for GreenPorts 2011’, taking place on February 23-24, 2011 in Venice, organised in co-operation with the Venice Port Authority. This will be followed by the annual GreenPort Congress September 14-15, 2011 in Hamburg, the 2011 European Green Capital. Both events have the support of the European Sea Ports Organisation. The next Danube Summit is scheduled for Belgrade in September 2012.
