FINAL WEEK

Time is running out to secure your place at the 24th Coastlink Conference at a discounted rate. The early bird deadline falls this Friday, and with space limited, now is the moment to act to save 15% on the premium delegate pass.Taking place on 6–7 May 2026 in Hull, United Kingdom, and hosted by Associated British Ports, Coastlink 2026 brings together the leading voices in short sea shipping, port operations, and sustainable logistics under one roof.This year’s programme is the strongest yet. Delegates will hear from senior figures at DP World, Peel Ports, Rotterdam Shortsea Terminals, the Port of Antwerp-Bruges, and many more across four agenda-packed sessions covering trade policy and market volatility, sustainable supply chain distribution, maritime security, and the accelerating role of AI and digitalisation in port operations.

What you’ll learn at Coastlink 2026:

  • How leading operators are building resilience against tariff disruptions and market instability — and what risk mitigation strategies are proving most effective
  • The latest thinking on sustainable distribution networks and how short sea routes are evolving as the “motorways of the sea”
  • How RoRo and LoLo terminal investment and innovative service models are reshaping infrastructure to meet growing shipper demand
  • What the new European Port Strategy means for economic growth, energy security, and operational resilience
  • How AI, digital twins, and advanced analytics are delivering measurable gains in vessel optimisation and predictive maintenance
  • Strategies for unlocking coastal shipping and inland waterway distribution to strengthen port-hinterland connectivity

Beyond the conference floor, the Premium Package includes an exclusive tour of ABP’s Humber operations and the official networking dinner at Hull’s spectacular Deep Aquarium, a venue that perfectly reflects the maritime spirit of this year’s host city.
