Short sea shipping has a significant market share in the international transport sector within Europe. In recent years, short sea transhipments have continued to increase and developments in this sector are not standing still. Themes such as sustainability and innovation play an important role.

All major developments within the sector relevant for ship owners and shippers were addressed during the international Europort Short Sea Conference 2009.

This conference was a joint initiative of Ahoy (Europort 2009) and Europoint Conferences & Exhibitions.
