COASTAL SHIPPING & IWT BUSINESS SUMMIT 2020

Coastal Shipping and Inland Water Transport is a mode of transportation that will divert freight from trucks travelling on highways to ships sailing along the coast between ports and open waterways within drayage distance to shippers and receivers. Short Sea Shipping could include both diversion of domestic freight, as well as diversion of containers from larger ports to secondary terminals using a container feeder service.

The purpose of this conference was to identify the issues of concerns and facilitate the completion of a feasibility study aimed at determining the economic and environmental viability of Domestic Shipping.

The 8th edition of Coastal Shipping & IWT Business Summit offers a perfect platform for the government, logistics service providers and shippers to deliberate on the opportunities that domestic shipping unfolds and the challenges to be overcome to promote the modal shift.
