Irish Lights (www.irishlights.ie ) has announced a major conference ‘Navigating To 2050 – A safe and sustainable maritime future’.
This will be held in Dublin Castle on 15 and 16 November 2022 and a virtual attendance is also available.
In the introduction it is said that safely navigating to a decarbonised maritime sector by 2050 requires extensive knowledge building, investment and holistic approaches. More importantly, it requires immediate action. These issues stretch across the entire marine sector incorporating shipping, ports, energy, fuel supply and storage, environmentally-friendly and safe navigation, operations and effective regulation.
To continue, at a time of major challenge, but also very significant opportunity, this conference will bring together a diverse range of key national and international leaders to debate a safe and sustainable route to 2050.
The conference will identify the gaps, synergies, levers and opportunities that will enable progress on this critical journey.
