SCHIFFSTECHNIK | SHIP

SCHIFFSTECHNIK | SHIP TECHNOLOGY Back to the (refreshed) exhibition centre In the first days of November, all maritime eyes are on Rotterdam. In the Dutch shipping capital, the 40th edition of the exhibition »Europort« will take place – one of the first of its kind since the Covid-19 pandemic hit the world The exhibition will take place from 2 to 5 November in Rotterdam Ahoy and its new convention centre. As most parts of the industry, the organizers of Europort put a deep look into the future – charting the path to a sustainable maritime future is one of the primary ambitions. »To initiate a deeper understanding of the transition trails that are of vital interest to the maritime ecosystem«, four major themes will dominate the agenda: Digitalization, Energy Transition, the Next Generation and Ship Finance. In common with the previous 39 editions, Europort 2021 offers numerous conferences, thematic masterclasses, matchmaking and networking events, seminars and workshops in close collaboration with partners and industry organizations. Exhibition manager Raymond Siliakus recently said: »We’re proud to be working with many respected partners in the sector, in order to create a relevant programme for all of our maritime segments.« Maritime peers can get inspired during the official Europort Opening Summit, consisting of challenging questions on the themes Digitalization, Energy Transition, Ship Finance and Next Generation and a triggering expert panel discussion. The »Innovation Stage« will focus on the four central themes for four days. Exhibitors and partners will pitch their innovations live on stage. Located in the heart of the fairground, the Innovation Stage offers a free access daily programme. Each day another industry theme will be top of mind: • Tue: Digitalisation & Smart Technology • Wed: Safety & Security • Thu: Energy Transition & Green Shipping • Fri: The Next Generation Smart Digital Ports For the first time in its 40th anniversary, Europort presents the »Smart Digital Ports« conference. Representatives from global ports and actors of the entire supply chain are announced to debate, network and share best practices on latest developments on automation, sustainability and connectivity. 1st »Mare Forum« Also new is another format, at which in-depth debates and interesting insights can be expected: the first Mare Forum entitled »Funding the European Inland Navigation«. With multiple keynote speakers and panellists the following questions will be addressed: Who has a clear view of the design of the barge of the future? What insights do we have into the commercial viability of future ship designs? Who will take the investment risk on these technologies? What is the role of the capital provider and charterer? Is LNG just a transition fuel? Hydrogen, ammonia, batteries, and nuclear? Is there enough infrastructure in ports to facilitate new fuels? Will we have new trades, requiring new ship types – e.g. hydrogen carriers and ammonia product tankers?
