The sustainability of the shipping industry remains important.

The Netherlands have always been a strong player in the maritime industry. It is the number one
container port in Europe located on the Rhine river. And with its excellent and convenient combination of
large ports and hinterland connections to all transports, Rotterdam is justifiably considered the Gateway
to Europe.
The success of the last year’s Green Shipping Summit in Rotterdam has shown that the sustainability of
the shipping industry remains important, in fact, now even more than ever.
With the rise of innumerable innovations, technological development, and shifting industry trends, the
maritime professionals need more opportunities to gather in one place with their colleagues and learn
from each other in order to find the best solutions to emerging problems, provide insights and also discuss
new industry drivers and pressures regarding green shipping.
The 2nd International Green Shipping Summit in Rotterdam that will take place on October
16-17th, 2017, is an incredible opportunity for everyone in the industry to get together and share their
expertise for the greater goal — to make the maritime market as green as possible.
The two-day 2nd International Green Shipping Summit in Rotterdam will address the important
issues currently faced within the industry and offer an exceptional opportunity to hear about future
trends, latest ship engineering developments and future technologies, sustainable fuel supply in different
regions, emission regulations, as well as a large spectrum of other significant topics.
A wide range of the key players in the maritime industry, from shipbuilding companies to government
bodies, speakers from MSC, Samsung, Carnival Corporation, Port of Rotterdam and many more will join
their forces in order to discuss the shipping news and explore endless possibilities for the future.
