The British Ports Association represents ports and terminals across the UK, advocating on behalf of an industry that plays a vital role in supporting trade, economic growth and resilient supply chains.
At Coastlink, Richard will contribute to the session: Navigating Change: The impact of trade disruptions, geopolitics and market shifts
As supply chains face increasing pressure from geopolitical uncertainty, changing trade patterns and evolving security risks, the ports, shipping and logistics sectors are continuing to adapt. This session will examine how organisations across the logistics chain are responding to challenges such as cyber threats, criminal activity, operational security concerns and disruption to cargo flows, while strengthening resilience through collaboration and information sharing.
Drawing on his extensive experience representing the UK ports sector, Richard will offer insights into the wider challenges affecting ports and logistics networks, and the importance of industry cooperation in maintaining secure, efficient and reliable trade routes.
Bringing together ports, shipping lines, terminal operators, logistics providers and cargo owners, Coastlink provides a platform for discussing the issues shaping the future of short sea shipping and sustainable logistics networks. Richard’s participation adds valuable perspective to what promises to be one of the conference’s most topical discussions.
Join us in Rotterdam on 14-15 April 2027 to hear from Richard and other industry leaders as they explore the opportunities and challenges facing the sector.
