Registration open for the First IHMA Seminar - 21 to 23 May 2025, Belfast, Northern Ireland

Belfast Harbour Office

Wed, 21/05/2025 - 09:00

Building on the successful European Harbour Masters Committee Seminars, the IHMA is proud to present the first IHMA Seminar in Belfast on 21-23 May 2025. IHMA Seminars will now be held every two years in non-Congress years.

IHMA has chosen ‘BEYOND CONVENTION – Innovation through diversification’ as the theme for the Seminar which will be hosted in Belfast by Belfast Harbour Commissioners from 21 to 23 May 2025.

The seminar will look at how harbour masters are preparing for the profound changes which are affecting the port industry today and into the near future. The intense focus on decarbonisation in every aspect of business is a critical driver in the need for ports to look at innovation through diversification – to go Beyond Convention.

The IHMA Seminar will quickly become established as an important event for IHMA members, industry stakeholders, innovators and suppliers across the global ports sector to collaborate, network, share information, and provide updates on the latest industry technology and solutions and fill the gap between Congress events.

Alongside the high-class debate and discussion on the conference floor an exhibition showcasing port marine products and innovation is available. This conference and exhibition offer sponsors and exhibitors a unique opportunity to connect, build relationships and do business with the principal decision makers for global port and marine operations.

The programme

During this day full of interaction and discussion the focus is on two cases, a "greenfield case” and a "brownfield case". In business and project development, a "greenfield case" typically refers to a scenario where a project is initiated on previously undeveloped land or in a completely new and untouched environment. It contrasts with a "brownfield case," where development occurs on land that has been previously developed or used for industrial or commercial purposes.
