The GreenPort Congress is unique is the only event that concentrates on environmental issues in ports and terminals but which also facilitates a great networking environment. The format of the programme is designed to facilitate discussion between all parties at the event, as well as having the opportunity to learn from the presentations given.

Managing dust for bulk handling, Sulphur free fuel for port authority vessels, Rail freight: closer to your needs, Noise zoning in Ports, Ship recycling, Waste management in ports, Engaging in industrial Ecology, OPS - invest or not?, Environmental Shipping Index, Environmentally differentiated port dues.... Just some of the papers to be given at this year's GreenPort Congress.

Following the themes of the ESPO Green Guide – Exemplify, Enable, Engage, Encourage and Enforce, each session will start with two plenary keynote speeches; an overview and a state of play presentation. The session will then breakdown into three working groups which will involve all sectors of the port community: port authorities, port users (terminal operators, logistics companies, shippers, shipping lines etc) and suppliers of equipment and services to the port community. The findings of each group will then be presented by the group moderators to the rest of the audience in a plenary session.
