The European Sea Ports Organisation (ESPO) held its annual conference last month at the Port of Livorno, Italy.

The gathering of European port and maritime industry marked the 16th edition of the ESPO Conference held in the impressive Girondi Theatre.

The theme of the Conference was “Europe’s ports in a new world” and looked into the biggest game changers that oblige port managing bodies and the port and maritime industry in general to change and maybe re-invent themselves.

EPSO have released a photo gallery of the event which is now available by clicking here.

To check out the speakers’ presentations they are also available on EPSO's website.

The next edition of the ESPO Conference will take place in Oslo on 28-29 May 2020.

Shannon Foynes Port Information

Shannon Foynes Port (SFPC) are investing in an unprecedented expansion at its general cargo terminal, Foynes, adding over two-thirds the size of its existing area. In the latest phase of a €64 million investment programme, SFPC is investing over €20 million in enabling works alone to convert 83 acres on the east side of the existing port into a landbank for marine-related industry, port-centric logistics and associated infrastructure. The project, which will be developed on a phased basis over the next five years, will require the biggest infrastructure works programme ever undertaken at the port, with the entire 83 acre landbank having to be raised by 4.4 metres. The programme will also require the provision of new internal roads and multiple bridge access as well as roundabout access.
