The ShortSea Shipping Annual Conference this year is bound for the Port of Huelva, Spain on 28 November, with the conference title of "Short Sea Shipping: Efficiency, Sustainability, and Connectivity in the Service of Maritime and Land Logistics Chains."

The conference is to be hosted by the Port Authority of Huelva and is organized by the Spanish Association for the Promotion of Short Sea Shipping (SPC, Spain) and is also under the Spanish Presidency of the European Shortsea Network (ESN).

Featuring at the event will be a high level of national and international speakers, both institutional and sectoral. It will be developed around 3 axes with a huge impact on the competitiveness of Short Sea Shipping through Connectivity, Efficiency and Sustainability.

Also taking place is the EALING Project event which will be present at the conference with a dedicated corner to involve local stakeholders and showcase the project results. The event's acronym stands for ‘European flagship Action for coLd ironing ports’, aiming to tackle the challenge of electrifying maritime transport for a more sustainable TEN-T Maritime Network.

As for the final EALING event, this is to be held on 29 November (in Valencia), where the project is co-financed by the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) of the European Union.

Afloat.ie is Ireland's only full-time marine journalism team and it takes time, money and hard work to produce our content.
