  Embarking on a Transformation from Successful Cargo Port to Maritime Cluster

  Maritime clusters have been established in numerous ports around the world with varying degrees of success. What constitutes a successful maritime cluster and what lessons can be learned from both successes and failures ? Learn how Singapore grew from the world's largest transhipment port into a centre of maritime excellence for shipping and ship management as well as a manufacturing hub and one of the world's principal bunkering and offshore maintenance hubs.

  Safe and Secure Navigation along Africa's Coasts - Togo's approach to protectice ships and cargo

Not a single month passes without an attempted act of piracy, in particular on cargo ships. What role should port authorities play in terms of securing the approaches to their ports and how can they collaborate with partners from other countries and alliances in securing international waters that guarantee safe passage for vessels calling at their ports ?

  Changing of the Guard

  With a new US administration, a new EU "Green Deal" and Asia powering ahead post-pandemic with much of the developing world still struggling, a changing of the guard is upon us. With the shipping and ports sector under immense pressure to decarbonize and reduce emisssions, outlier charterers, shipowners and carriers are taking matters into their own hands. The COVID19 pandemic has disrupted the global maritime and logistics supply chain, accelerating the industry's path towards digitalization at a rate never imagined by the industry. Following COVID19 and two financial crises already this century, ports are being forced to look at how to ensure business continuity during future disruptive events. In this session, learn how maritime industry leaders are adapting their organizations to a new and uncertain future.

  Ports as Energy Transition Hubs

  Ports are transforming rapidly, with many transforming into vibrant physical and digital hubs of economic activity. With this change, sustainable energy generation is becoming key, not only for ports themselves but also to close regional circular economic loops. Ports are looking at waste and energy reuse, replacing hydrocarbons with renewable sources to power newly-electrified terminal operations for cargo and passengers. How can public and private sector interests in port communities achieve such a successful energy transition ?

  Cruise has probably been shipping's most impacted business since the COVID19 outbreak. Prior to the pandemic, the sector had stellar growth forecasts, a fleet newbuild program of over 60 new vessels between 2020 and 2023 and a widening portoflio of candidate ports gearing up for cruise vessel port calls. Now practically the entire global fleet of cruise vessels is in lay up awaiting the global vaccination of its loyal customer base. What measures can ports take to accelerate the recovery in confidence of the cruise market, for both the visiting passengers and the port communities dependent on their visits for the local economies ?

This has been the case despite initial labour shortages, disruptive governmenal interventions to limit the spread of the disease and highly unpredictable supply and demand conditions due to panic consumption and multiple lockdowns impacting economic activity. With disruption still the norm, particularly in the container sector with imbalances created and rates at an all time high, ports are reassessing how to cope with crises on a permanent basis. In this insightful session, find out exactly what sort of measures ports should be taking in order to prepare themselves for the next crisis, be it financial, health-related, economic, climate-change related or otherwise.

  To improve port call efficiencies, eliminate wasted berth time and to reduce emissions by vessels on approach and alongside seemed a pipe dream only five years ago. Pioneering ports are now bringing together nautical and supply chain players in their communities to share data, vessel approach and berth planning as well as orchestrating finely-tuned task itineraries by vessel service providers and authorities from the moment a vessel moors until she departs.

President Biden has set a deadline of April 22 to complete the pledge for his country's 2030 emissions cuts ahead of his Earth Day summit. In February, the new U.S. President also said “‘It’s time to stop talking about infrastructure and finally start building infrastructure. Millions of good-paying jobs putting Americans to work rebuilding our roads, our bridges, our ports to make them more climate resilient, to make them faster, cheaper, cleaner to transport American-made goods across our country and around the world, that’s how we compete."
