Millennium
Conferences International has pleasure in announcing the
International Ports & the Environment Conference 2008.
Scheduled to take place in Amsterdam, on 1 & 2 December, the congress will deliver an outstanding programme, not only ensuring delegates an invaluable learning opportunity, but a platform for discussion and the exchange of ideas and information.
What
will the event cover?
Focusing on key issues surrounding ports & terminals and their huge impact
on the environment, the two day
programme will explore 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 and social-eco
development.
Who
is the event for?
Ports
& the Environment 2008 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.
What
is the event background?
The huge increase in environmental awareness over the last decade has resulted
in government restrictions on operations in ports and terminals around the
world.
Port expansion
and new terminal developments come with serious environmental
considerations, and if not executed properly, plans can be turned
down costing companies millions of dollars. Sound emissions, and more
importantly, exhaust emissions are causing considerable damage to the
environment, challenging ports and terminals to develop and implement their own
environmental strategies, however, one vital question remains - who will pay for
the costs?
“Environmental issues and concerns have become paramount to ports around the globe, it is vital to us that we provide delegates an opportunity to talk with, and learn from, industry experts in this field” says Peter van Schie, Event Director.
