    ACI’s European Environmental Ports Conference 2020 to be held on 3-4 May in Rotterdam

    ACI’s European Environmental Ports Conference 2020 will be held on the 3rd & 4th May in Rotterdam, The Netherlands.

    The event will bring together senior representatives from the global port community and shipping companies, as well as environmental policy-makers, academic experts, consultants, and technology providers, to tackle the most pressing topics of the maritime industry.

    This two-day event will provide informative presentations on the very latest challenges, solutions and developments in reducing emissions, pollution and energy consumption, as well as discussing the possibilities of industrial collaboration and a more sustainable future.
