Short conference description:

The ports of Hamburg and Hong Kong are leading ports in Europe and Asia respectively. Both cities are committed to address ship and port related air pollution, which has serious environmental and health implications. This one-day event aims to provide a platform for policy dialogue on this important and pressing topic amongst major stakeholders, including academics, policy makers, terminal operators and ship owners from both cities, for sharing best practices and industry’s insights related to emission control, and for identifying a common pathway for knowledge and technology transfer to other major port regions, notably in China.
