SUMMARY:Leading the way to sustainable ports through energy transition
CLASS:PUBLIC

 he energy transition\, particularly how ports can:Harness the ability to u

 s and operations as well as for ships servicing and bunkeringImprove port 
 operational efficiency by promoting energy efficiency and green technology
 -driven solutionsThe session will conclude with a set of action-oriented r
 ecommendations on how ports can tap into the opportunities and benefits th
