With a strong conference programme across all four theatres, the crowds had multiple opportunities to acquire knowledge aimed at optimising their port and terminal operations.
Throughout the week, safety has taken centre stage - in fact, quite literally, as the TT Club Safety Village located at the heart of the exhibition floor hosted presentations that focus on protection of workers and the reduction or complete elimination of workplace accidents.
Elsewhere, visitors to the TOC Europe conferences heard from high-level speakers covering subjects embracing automation, future supply chain trends, sustainability and alternative fuels, and how digitalisation can enhance resilience.
Amongst the compelling conference sessions, DP World’s VP of Freight and Logistics, Rob Harrison, described how both resilience and redundancy can be enhanced by integrating various supply chain operations and functions. His colleague, Piotr Konopka, Senior Manager of Energy Programmes, contributed greatly to the audience’s knowledge by talking them through DP World’s journey towards achieving the ambitious target of zero carbon by 2050.
Additionally, Peter Slootweg, CEO of Long Am International Port in Vietnam, updated the audience on the facility’s status as it approaches its imminent opening, describing how a flurry of international manufacturers in the region has led to a demand for extra capacity.
The final day of TOC Europe takes place on Thursday June 15th, where another full day of conference content is promised.
