Blue Shipping & Ports, Critical Island Infrastructure: Energy, Mobility & Resilience

Location:Main StageTrack:Ocean, Blue Economy & Maritime Innovation

For islands, shipping is more than transport: it’s critical infrastructure supporting food, fuel, healthcare, tourism, and economic resilience. This session explores how ports, maritime operators, and energy providers can collaborate to electrify fleets, adopt green fuels, and strengthen resilience against climate shocks. Case studies from the Caribbean, Pacific, and Europe will highlight practical, island-scale solutions for sustainable mobility and energy integration.
