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.

Who We Are
The 17th edition of GreenPort Congress & Cruise will be hosted by the Port of Anwerp-Bruges, Beligium from 18-20 October 2022. The conference provides over 180 decision-makers from the port community - port authorities, terminal operators, shipping lines, logistics operators - with a meeting place to both learn about and discuss the latest in sustainable development and environmental practice to enable them to effectively implement the changes needed to reduce their carbon footprint and to be more sensitive to environmental considerations.
GreenPort Congress & Cruise 2022 will cover a range of themes including fuel and energy provision for shipping, fuel and energy for port operations (including hydrogen hubs, wind farms and electrification of port vehicles), sustainable Partnerships – Ports working together to meet sustainable targets, sustainable cruise projects in aid of being carbon neutral by 2050, environmental cruise ships – including hydrogen fuelled ships and legislation and cooperation in the cruise industry. With an overall throughput of 289 million tons per year, the 2022 host port Antwerp-Bruges is an important hub in worldwide trade. Its central location, extensive connections with global markets and a large part of the European hinterland combined with an excellent infrastructure make the port with its two sites an attractive choice for anyone looking to do business.
