Continuing the strong partnership \u2013 in place since 2019 – Richard Ballantyne, Chief Executive of the BPA commented:<\/p>\n
\u201cFollowing the successful Coastlink conference in Liverpool this year, we are delighted to confirm our continued support for the 2024 event hosted by the Port of Amsterdam. <\/strong><\/p>\n Coastlink has proven to be a valuable network for the short sea shipping and supply chain community with the port sector central to the debate. Cross-collaboration remains key to the mix of industry discussions around sustainability, energy transition, policy, and emerging market pressures. We look forward to participating at the event next April.<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n The BPA is the national association for ports and harbours, representing over 400 port facilities and terminals across the UK. Collectively these members handle over 86% of the UK\u2019s seaborne trade as well as providing vital gateways for energy, tourism, marine leisure and fishing.<\/p>\n The BPA promotes the sector and represents the interests of its members to the UK and devolved Governments, as well as to other national and international bodies.<\/p>\n Join Richard Ballantyne at the 2024 Coastlink Conference, taking place on 24 & 25 April<\/strong>.
