One month to go: are you ready?

Book online today to secure your place at this year’s conference focusing on the theme of ‘Balancing environmental challenges with economic demand’. The conference features two days of conference presentations and panel discussions for Congress & Cruise topics, a welcome reception, conference dinner and port tour.

Hear and learn from the experts within the industry, including Vincent Favier, CEO, Ecoslops discussing generating hydrocarbon products from maritime waste: Ecoslops’ experience on profitable circular economy within ports. Ecoslops is an innovative cleantech that brings oil into circular economy. Their solutions have been developed to help ports manage their waste in a more efficient and environmentally friendly way. Their technology allows the recycling of oil residues from ships, as well as land-based hydrocarbon residues that are often considered hazardous and difficult to dispose of.

Alex Lagarde, Conversion’s Energy Conversion Expert & Business Development Manager, GE Vernova will be presenting on reliability and availability return of experience, from years of power conversion in Vessel Electrical Conversion systems, and Oil and Gas systems. This presentation will explore reliability aspects of large power converter (range between 5MVA and 20MVA), based on more than 30 years of return of experience on critical electrical systems.

Within this year’s programme The International Association of Ports and Harbors (IAPH) will be running two Port Endeavor workshops across the two days. Port Endeavor draws on real life examples from the 200+ strong IAPH World Ports Sustainability Program (WPSP) database of projects and best practices on how ports integrate the UN Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) into their business models and operations. The aim of the session is to increase awareness among port management, staff and professionals working in port communities on how ports are already applying the UN Sustainable Development Goals to their business, to ultimately accelerate adoption of these measures in the port sector.

The welcome reception for GreenPort Congress & Cruise 2023, a great networking icebreaker, will be held at Lisbon City Hall. The Town Hall is integrated into a wide square, which, including paços and pillory constitutes the ultimate symbol of municipal power.

This year the dinner will be held at Palace of Conde d’Óbidos, a strikingly historic space with a breathtaking view over the Tagus River. The conference dinner provides an opportunity to reflect on the first day of conference presentations and continue the discussion outside of the conference room.
