Meet the Experts

GreenPort Congress is proud to welcome a line-up of world-class speakers, including:

  • Manfred Lebmeier, Senior Environmental Advisor, Hamburg Port Authority – on the Port of Hamburg’s pioneering role in Green Hydrogen.
  • Koen Hamels, Port Environmental Advisor, Port of Antwerp-Bruges – sharing outcomes from the landmark PIONEERS project.
  • Niels van Kouwen MSc, Maritime & Resilience Consultant, Haskoning – unveiling a new guide on Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) in port development.

“I’m excited to join the GreenPort Congress in Valletta to share our latest guidance on Nature-Based Solutions in port areas. It’s a unique opportunity to connect with people across the maritime sector, sharing insights, and explore how ports can harness nature to deliver greater value and resilience.” – Niels van Kouwen

Networking Like Never Before

GreenPort Congress isn’t just about ideas; it’s about connections. This year, delegates will enjoy:

  • A conference dinner at the Malta Maritime Museum: a three-course “Taste History” experience, complete with prosecco on arrival, free-flowing wine, and a bespoke menu crafted in collaboration with the museum’s curatorial team. This dinner will be the perfect opportunity to celebrate the 20th edition of GreenPort Congress.
  • A drinks reception in the beautiful Gardjola Gardens, Senglea: the perfect setting to reflect on two days of learning, while making lasting connections with colleagues old and new, and with participants from the co-located DTF (Decarbonising the Future) conference.

For the first time ever, GreenPort will feature two exclusive port tours:

  • Valletta Grand Harbour - one of Europe’s most historic natural harbours.
  • Malta Freeport at Port of Marsaxlokk - a strategic hub for global container traffic.

These behind-the-scenes visits offer delegates an unprecedented look at both tradition and transformation in action.
