3rd European Shortsea Congress is to be held on 29-30 June 2010 in Dublin (Ireland) under the title "Strategies and opportunities for the European shortsea shipping community". Congress is organized by IMDO (Irish Maritime Development Office) and Navigate Events.
This conference has grown in importance over the last three years and is now firmly established as the must-attend shortsea event for 2010 for providers, being end user or shortsea service, a port or supplier of commercial services to the shortsea sector.
What do shipowners think of the future prospects for the unitised and bulk sectors? Where will the future cargoes come from and which routes are under threat? What does the customer want from shortsea providers and are they making unrealistic demands? What sorts of pressures do shippers face and why should they care about the shortsea options? How can shortsea be integrated into deepsea transport? How can port centric logistics solutions link with shortsea services? What is Brussels doing for the sector and could their efforts be re-focused to encourage modal shift?
