Greening Inland Shipping Conference

The Conference

 

The conference was centred on three themes:

  • The evolving political and environmental context for river operations
     
  • Development & research into new technology
     
  • Operators’ experience adopting and using new technology
     

In combination, the sessions reflected: the imperative for change; the technology available today and in development; and practical experience of operators bringing new technology into operation. There was a wrap up session drawing everything together, looking in particular at finance and grants.   

The full programme for the conference is available here.
