Ports are under growing pressure to prove, not just promise, environmental performance.
Water quality sits at the centre of that challenge, from PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) and sediment contamination to flood risk and climate-driven disruption.
At GreenPort Congress, hosted by Portsmouth International Port, 7–9 October 2026, the focus is not on theory, it’s on what ports are actually doing, what’s working, and where projects are falling short.
Across three focused themes, the programme gets into the detail behind real operational decisions:
Monitoring, measurement & environmental intelligence How ports are using real-time data and sensor technologies to move from passive monitoring to active intervention and what that costs to implement.
Pollution, sediment & risk management Lessons from ports dealing with contaminated sediments, PFAS, and dredging constraints, including how risk is being managed in practice.
Climate resilience, water scarcity & adaptation How climate risk assessments are being translated into investment decisions, and where resilience planning is already influencing port strategy.
Featured Speaker:
Ingrid Lambert, Green Ports and Climate Resilience Consultant, Haskoning
“Climate risk assessments are now being translated into investment-relevant metrics that boards can act on, shifting adaptation from theory to funded strategy.”
Why attend:
-
Understand how other ports are managing water quality under regulatory and operational pressure
-
See how environmental data is being used to justify investment decisions
-
Learn what’s working and what isn’t in pollution and sediment management
-
Gain practical approaches to climate adaptation and resilience planning
-
Join the ports, regulators, and solution providers shaping how water challenges are being handled today, not discussed in theory.
