4 Welcome to Rotterdam Maritime Capital of Europe For the second time in a row, Rotterdam has been awarded as the European frontrunner in the 2024 edition of the ‘Leading Maritime Cities of the World’ report launched by DNV and Menon Economics. The port city is on the forefront of innovation due to its efforts to leverage new technologies. With its strategic North Sea location, Rotterdam remains the pre-eminent maritime and offshore hotspot. Within a range of 200 km, Europe’s key offshore and dredging contractors, super yacht builders and shipyards are active, working closely together with high-level research centres, equipment suppliers and numerous ship owners. 4
Enjoy the metropolitan vibe The city of Rotterdam is happy to be your official Europort host. Rotterdam is a young and dynamic city, continuously renewing itself at a rapid pace. With over 170 different cultures, finding diversity in Rotterdam is not an art but more of a given. Sparkling skyscrapers, an impressive port, trendy restaurants and food markets, renowned museums and flourishing architecture make Rotterdam one of Europe’s most exhilarating and vibrant cities. 5
Guiding the journey to a sustainable maritime future is one of our primary ambitions. Europort senses the urge to act and feels the responsibility to navigate the transition trails that are of vital interest to our maritime ecosystem. These four major themes will dominate the Europort 2025 agenda: This edition’s themes 6 The European Union is determined to become the world’s carbon-neutral continent by 2050 and IMO has set ambitious emission targets to transform the industry. Lowering the carbon footprint of an industry that moves almost 90% of global trade is a significant undertaking. The quest for a greener future is as urgent as it is complex. Emerging technologies are multiplying rapidly but lack of standardization and clear frontrunners makes decision-making challenging at the least. Europort is keen to connect all industry stakeholders, share best practices and accelerate energy transition. MAKING SUSTAINABLE WAVES ENERGY TRANSITION
7 People have always been the lifeblood of shipping but today, human capital has turned into an industry wide priority; both on-shore as well as aboard. Demographic shifts, global competition, disruptive (digital) technologies and evolving employee expectations require a reset in HR strategies. A culture of innovation, lifelong learning and inclusiveness is crucial to remain relevant and profitable. Europort makes an active call to lead and feed the human discussion on fostering (new) experts. FOSTERING NEW EXPERTS HUMAN CAPITAL The global shipping industry is a capital intensive business and in this era of net-zero and digital transition, credit lines are to provide the fundament. With banks being more risk averse, the need for new and diversified sources of financing and funding is growing. The Europort conference and activity program sets the dialogue between capital providers, ship owners, shipbuilders and suppliers. How to fund new investments? How to handle large scale volatile cash flows? How to balance supply, demand and asset prices and meet with sustainable goals at the same time? FUNDING THE FUTURE SHIP FINANCE The maritime industry is in the midst of a digital revolution. Access to actionable, trusted data becomes ever more critical to drive growth, optimize operational efficiency and improve safety. Digital solutions play a crucial role to spur the industry along the decarbonization path. Robust systems allow fast and dynamic decision-making to manage risks associated with unforeseen geopolitical challenges. Although advancements are immersive, the full potential of digital transformation is yet to be unlocked. Europort is eager to explore the power of technology and transparency.
