Port of Gothenburg to announce new green inititives
February 16, 2012
In May, industry professionals from more than 50 countries will gather at the Svenska Massan in Gothenburg for RORO – Europe’s only dedicated “roll on-roll off” event.
This year, for the first time ever, the conference is free-to-attend and organisers have announced a host of new features including product launches, product seminars and keynotes from industry leaders, which will make the 2012 show the most extensive RORO exhibition and conference in history.
From 22-24 May, car manufacturers, shippers, equipment manufacturers, port and terminal operators and shipping lines from across Europe will gather to discuss and discover the latest industry solutions.
While the new conference sessions will focus on the ro-ro sector’s most pertinent topics, such as emissions challenges and the impact of the industry on the environment high on the agenda.
In keeping with this theme, the port of Gothenburg has announced that it will promote its new environmental solutions at RORO.
Event Director Sophie Ahmed said: “We are delighted that Port of Gothenburg will be showcasing its new environmental initiatives at RORO and look forward to this being a catalyst for debate and discussion amongst visitors.
“There is plenty of scope for innovation and originality in the industry and these are the exact issues and topics we will be focusing on at RORO this year. We look forward to discussing how sustainability can be improved, both through existing means and those that are around the corner.”
