Time is running out to secure your place at Coastlink 2026. This year, we’re proud to be hosted by ABP on the Humber, alongside an outstanding line-up of industry-leading speakers.
With less than three weeks to go, preparations are well underway for Coastlink 2026 taking place on the 6th - 7th of May. The leading European conference is dedicated to short sea and inland shipping, sustainable logistics, and multimodal freight transport. Being held at the DoubleTree Hilton in the heart of Hull city centre, the event offers a timely opportunity for industry professionals to come together, exchange knowledge, and tackle some of the sector’s most pressing challenges.
A focused agenda with real-world impact. Coastlink is designed to support the growth of short sea and feeder shipping, and its integration with rail, inland waterways, and road transport. This year’s programme addresses key priorities including:
- Navigating trade policy and market volatility in an evolving tariff landscape
- Growth and transformation in RoRo shipping, infrastructure, and service models
- Sustainable and resilient supply chain distribution
- Securing maritime and port operations through policy, regulation, and technology
- AI, digitalisation, and unlocking value from data
- Port-centric logistics and the role of coastal shipping and inland waterways
Delegates will hear from industry leaders, policymakers, and cargo owners, all sharing practical insight into how their organisations are adapting and planning for the future.
Strategic Networking Opportunities; As a neutral industry forum, Coastlink brings together a diverse mix of stakeholders, from port authorities and terminal operators to logistics providers, carriers, and consultants. Structured networking sessions are designed to create space for meaningful conversations, helping build partnerships that extend well beyond the event itself.
