The GreenPort Congress will focus on how to increase sustainability across port operations when it takes place at Portsmouth International Port in the UK from 7-9 October 2026.

The conference will bring together port authorities, terminal operators, engineers, policymakers and solution providers from across the maritime ecosystem to discuss the latest strategies, policies and technologies which are supporting sustainable port operations. Key topics will include reducing carbon footprints and how to adop environmentally friendly practices.

Portsmouth International Port is aiming to achieve net-zero port operations by 2035 and become one of UK’s first zero-emission ports by 2050, making it a prime location choice for the event.

“We pride ourselves on being a leader in sustainable and innovative maritime operations and take our role as a city-owned port seriously by making sure we work with the community and customers who share our values,” said Mike Sellers, director of Portsmouth International Port. “The event in October will take place in our carbon-neutral terminal, one of the UK’s most sustainably advanced buildings, and delegates will be given an insight into the green technologies we have here at the port.”
