The Conference

THE 17TH EDITION OF GREENPORT CONGRESS & CRUISE WAS HOSTED BY THE PORT OF ANTWERP-BRUGES AND TOOK PLACE IN BRUGES, BELGIUM ON 18-20 OCTOBER 2022.

The conference provided decision makers from the port community - port authorities, terminal operators, shipping lines, logistics operators - with a meeting place to both learn about and discuss the latest in sustainable development and environmental practice to enable them to effectively implement the changes needed to reduce their carbon footprint and to be more sensitive to environmental considerations.

GreenPort Congress & Cruise 2022 covered a range of themes including fuel and energy provision for shipping, fuel and energy for port operations (including hydrogen hubs, wind farms and electrification of port vehicles), sustainable Partnerships – Ports working together to meet sustainable targets, sustainable cruise projects in aid of being carbon neutral by 2050, environmental cruise ships – including hydrogen fuelled ships and legislation and cooperation in the cruise industry.

In 2022 GreenPort Congress & Cruise traveled to Bruges, one of the world’s foremost roll-on/roll-off deep-sea container ports, where at least 40 million tonnes of goods are transhipped annually.
