PORT OF AVEIRO PRESENTING AT GREENPORT CRUISE & CONGRESS 2021

GreenPort Congress & Cruise	Green Ports & Shipping Congress	Coastlink Conference	GreenPort Congress Oceania

GreenPort Congress is a meeting place for the port community to discuss and learn the latest in sustainable environmental practice. It offers ways to reduce their carbon foot print and be more sensitive to environmental considerations, both of which are vital to future success.	The Green Ports & Shipping Congress will identify and prioritise the areas that ports-based organisations and shipping companies need to collaborate on to reduce emissions.	Coastlink is a neutral pan-European network dedicated to the promotion of short sea and feeder shipping, and the intermodal transport networks through the ports that support the sector. It is a place for industry professionals to meet and discuss future innovation, economic and environmental considerations – and develop partnerships that will help build a sustainable future.	Greenport Congress Oceania will bring together environmental managers from port authorities, terminal operators, shipping lines and logistics operators to learn about the latest sustainable developments and environmental practices in the Oceanic region and beyond.
