    Atlantico Business Development, the independent port promoter and maritime business developer of ARA, is proud to announce the second edition of Ship2ARA.

    The ARA port region is Europe's and the Atlantic's Number One port and logistics cluster, handling almost 900 million tons of seaborne cargo and around 26 million TEU annually. The latter figure amounts to 27% of all TEU handled in the EU.

    Ship2ARA therefore aims to highlight maritime business opportunities as well as the latest and future trends and developments in the many and diverse ports of Flanders and the Netherlands.

    Containerisation, digitalisation, modal shifts, threats and challenges, post-Brexit trade with the UK and Ireland, decarbonisation, bunkering, innovation and other subjects will be dealt with in several editions of Ship2ARA. Each edition will field a different mix of speakers from port authorities, terminal operators and other players in ARA ports, showcasing the enormous drive for innovation in this highly diverse cluster of ports.

    The first edition took place on March 25th 2021 and featured speakers from Rotterdam Short Sea Terminals, Port of Rotterdam, Port of Antwerp, North Sea Port and Kloosterboer.
