Ship Readiness vs Port Readiness: Who Is Moving Faster?
The success of shore power depends on alignment between ship retrofitting and port infrastructure readiness, yet progress across both sides of the value chain remains uneven. This session brings together shipowners and port authorities to examine where the gaps lie, highlighting the risks associated with mismatched timelines, underutilised infrastructure, and delayed investments. By addressing both technical readiness and commercial decision-making, the discussion will provide clarity on how stakeholders can better coordinate their strategies to ensure that supply and demand evolve in parallel.
