As Host Sponsors of the 25th Coastlink Conference next April Rotterdam Shortsea Terminals (RST) and the Port of Rotterdam already have a central role at the annual short sea shipping and logistics event.
No surprise then that the Host Port Welcome on the opening morning will be given by Matthijis van Doorn, Vice President – Containers at the Port of Rotterdam, among whose many commercial responsibilities are the sustainable and energy-efficient development of the port and its supply chains.
Soon afterwards, Arno Storm, the CEO of RST, will take part in the conference’s opening session – Navigating Change: The Impact of Trade Disruptions, Geopolitics and Market Shifts – in an exploration of how ports, shipping and logistics sectors are addressing cyber threats, criminal infiltration, operational security and supply chain resilience,
As CEO of Europe’s largest dedicated shortsea shipping hub, complete with its trimodal access by truck, barge and train, Storm is perfectly placed to provide real-world insight and proven solutions for delegates to many of the issues.
RST is located in the heart of the Port of Rotterdam, itself Europe’s largest port, so providing what is clearly an ideal venue for the Coastlink Conference, together with the collective experience delivered by Arno Storm and Matthijis van Doorn, alongside the many other expert speakers taking part.
Taking place 14-15 April 2027, the Coastlink Conference is a must-do for anyone in the short sea shipping sector – not least because of the excellent Conference Dinner sponsored by RST and the Port of Rotterdam.
