| 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 annual World Ports Conference brings together global port leaders and key stakeholders from the shipping sectors to explore the opportunities and challenges facing the maritime industry. This year’s #IAPH2026 will be held in London, UK, offering a programme of plenary, breakout and workshop sessions and a gala dinner celebrating the IAPH Sustainability Awards. | 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. |

The Port of Rotterdam is to run trials with drones to achieve sea-going and inland shipping inspections as part of efforts to reduce pollution.
Particular emphasis will be on coverage of air pollution (smoke etc), ship-to-ship transfer, shore-to-ship transfer, zoning for hazardous substances and onboard vessel repairs. Drones are to be supplied by Netherlands-based Avy and specifically its Avy Aera 3 which possesses a cruise speed of 90kmh per hour.
