  • Tour Everllence (formerly known as MAN Energy Solutions)
  • Discussions with Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners and Denmark's State of Green
  • Roundtable and tours with the Port of Copenhagen and Rotterdam

These engagements offer a window into the strategies, diverse tools and approaches used by European governments, industries and institutions as they explore pathways to maritime sector improvements.

The tour aims to foster cross-cultural learning and long term collaboration because transforming global shipping will take collective insight and shared leadership.

Stay tuned - the future of shipping is on the move.
