What is the event background?
Following the huge success of the first event back in 2008 which
attracted 65 participants from over 18 countries, and the positive feedback from the second seminar last year, Ports & the Environment is quickly establishing itself as a key industry event for anyone involved with the environment at ports and terminals around the globe.

The huge increase in environmental awareness over the last decade has resulted in
growing pressures both politically and commercially to take responsibility for the planet and its ongoing conservation. Governmental restrictions must be adhered to and caution must be exercised however trade can’t simply come to a stand still for the sake of the planet.

Hence the environment has become an important, if not vital, issue for ports and terminals - from ship and noise emissions to dredging and expansion - many environmental concerns must be taken into serious consideration challenging ports and terminals to develop and implement their own environmental strategies. 

Previous speakers have included:

Helmepa, INTERMEPA, DCMR, Department of City Management The Hague, Royal Haskoning, UK, DGMR Consulting Engineers, Institute of Shipping Economics & Logistics, Arcadis, Vigan Engineering SA, Harvard Engineering Ltd, Royal Haskoning Netherlands, EuDA, Port of Rotterdam, DHV, SAM Electronics, SYFT Technologies, Latvian Maritime Academy, Castrol Marine, Dover Harbour Board, UK Environment Agency, Gottwald Port Technology GmbH, Grontmij Nederland bv, Hydrobiology Pty Ltd, IADC, Kalmar Industries Oy Ab, Konecranes Lifttrucks AB, Peter Barham Environment Ltd, Royal Boskalis Westminster nv / Hydronamic BV, RVE Management BV, Sustainable Maritime Solutions Ltd (SMS), XL Insurance Company Limited and more...

What will the event cover?
Focusing on key issues surrounding ports & terminals and their huge impact on the environment, t
he programme will explore the latest developments, technology, research and solutions including topics such as noise, dust and exhaust emissions, environmental dredging, port expansion and development, ballast waste management, cold ironing, hazardous cargo, congestion, legal framework, terminal capacity, social-eco development, environmental control, carbon footprint and much more…

Who is the event for?
 Ports & the Environment 2010 is specially designed for planning and development officers, consulting engineers, operations manager, government and local authorities officials, legislators, advisors, equipment manufacturers, environmental officers, ship operators and representatives of ports and terminals around the world.
