Live encounters and face-to-face talks are essential in business, therefore facilitating physical meetings will remain a key focus during Europort 2021.  To further assist with arranging meetings at Europort, a new innovative and data-driven tool is being used to match your interests and business with people and companies that will be of the most interest to you. The Europort Connect platform can help make your exhibition participation or visit an even greater success. The platform allows you to generate leads faster, compile your own programme and set up meetings.

Our latest exhibitors illustrate the eagerness of international companies to participate at Europort and meet once again at one of the industry’s most anticipated events later this year. In the last few weeks, new exhibitors from Estonia, Greece, Italy, Turkey and Germany have joined Europort and will be exhibiting from 2 to 5 November. Welcome to the Europort community!

Do you have an innovative solution, an interesting prototype or brilliant idea that the maritime sector MUST know about? Europort is proud to support the industry’s next generation of talent, offering young professionals, project teams and students from universities and colleges the opportunity to participate in the Next Generation programme. During this edition, prototypes, concepts and innovations will be exhibited on the exhibition floor in hall 6 in addition to a range of great networking activities being organised for participants.

The regulatory framework around emissions is becoming increasingly strict and wind-assisted propulsion could offer another route to decarbonizing shipping. Wind has been used to propel ships for centuries. However, the addition or use of sails and wind capture devices could significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions by reducing a propeller’s thrust which would therefore reduce engine power and fuel consumption.

Yes, you heard right - the temporary halls are now a thing of the past following the recently completed renovations at the Rotterdam Ahoy Convention Centre (RACC). Exhibitors and delegates will now benefit from a range of state-of-the-art exhibition and conference facilities now available at the RACC. The renovations saw to the expansion of the space and included a new entrance hall, foyers, conference and breakout-rooms and an additional 3,100sqm hall, all of which have been fully integrated with the existing exhibition facilities.
