Let’s work together!
2nd of June – 09:00 a.m. to 10:45 a.m. – CGD Auditorium
Organization: APP – Associação de Portos de Portugal
In the current global economic context, all world ports seek to compete with distinct differentiation strategies. The announced alliance of the largest owners and operators worldwide; the economic growth of emerging countries; new forms of consumption; the increasing size of ships and the new communication technologies are now identified as some of the external factors impacting on the performance and activity of world ports. And the Portuguese ports will be prepared? How should the ports of Portugal meet these challenges? What strategies should follow? How can differentiate in the European context?
Are some of the issues that will form the starting point for a reflection on the future of national ports in a “round table” with renowned professionals from different sectors of the economy – from shipping to the food industry – promoted by the APP-Association of Portugal Harbours in partnership with AIP Foundation and High Patronage of the Ministry of the Sea

Security is one of the fundamental pillars for sustainable development and the growth of any country. When a nation has responsibility over a vast resource that, by action of waves and currents, is in constant motion, as in the case of the sea, the subject of security is greater importance. If we add the three-dimensional aspect of the maritime space, given by the seabed, water column, surface and airspace over the sea in a scenario of enlargement of global maritime borders, we realize the complexity of the subject.
In this context, to discuss aspects related to the protection of sovereignty in a growth scenario of maritime territories, tension/conflict between countries in some sea areas, maritime piracy and other maritime crime (…), migrations, and safety of life at sea (safety), the Navy, the Maritime Authority, the air force, the GNR, the IdD and the PwC, joined experts who will share experiences about the latest challenges facing maritime Nations.

Challenges of the maritime industry in the Motorways of the Sea
This Conference embraces all the maritime industries and problematics of the Motorways of the Sea, where Portugal plays a relevant role. The conference addresses the actual problematics of IMO MARPOL VI, the technologies involved for its satisfaction as well as the technical challenges and opportunities for the marine actors, like shipyards, authorities, ship owners and operators as well as knowledge centres like universities, institutes and governments (pollution control policies). Very demanding problems need to be addressed by advancing environmentally friendly solutions like LNG and other marine renewable fuels to mitigate the effect of the intense marine traffic of these Motorways of the Sea.
