MedCruise participated in the European Environmental Ports Conference held in Antwerp, on the 7th and 8th of June 2017, represented by its member assigned for environmental issues, Mrs Valeria Mangiarotti.
During her intervention, MedCruise representative dicussed the “Future of Reduced Emissions in European Ports”.
The event brought together senior representatives from the global port community and shipping companies, as well as environmental policy-makers, academic experts, consultants, and technology providers.
Given the increasing focus on environmental regulations from the IMO and policy makers in the maritime sector, there is a growing responsibility and requirement of ports to reduce their environmental impact; it is an important time to share best practices and explore new technologies and methodologies in order to advance daily operations of a port with minimal ecological consequences.
The two-day event featured informative presentations on the very latest challenges, solutions and developments in reducing emissions, pollution and energy consumption, as well as engaging discussion around the exciting potential of co-operation and symbiosis.
