The importance of short sea

This year’s Coastlink conference is back in person and will focus on building connectivity through ports

Antwerp is the second largest port in Europe and an important gateway for short sea services

Coastlink 2022 is being hosted by the Port of Antwerp, the second largest port in Europe and an important gateway for short sea services, from 11 to 12 May.

This year’s event will focus on building connectivity between short sea shipping and intermodal transport networks through the ports that support the sector.

With short sea and feeder services seeing significant growth opportunities post-Brexit, Coastlink will deliver all the latest developments happening across the industry.

Why attend

The conference programme includes presentations and panel debates with headline speakers from Unifeeder, the International Association of Ports and Harbors (IAPH) and BIMCO.

Presenters will include the Port of Zeebrugge, Tyne and Rotterdam and short sea shipping line, Fast Group Belgium.

The complete delegate package includes conference attendance on both days, a place at the conference dinner on the evening of 11 May, the technical visit at the Port of Antwerp in the afternoon of 12 May, the conference handbook and full documentation in electronic format and lunch and refreshments on both days.
