2nd GreenPort Cruise Conference

The 2nd GreenPort Cruise conference will cover the environmental and sustainability issues facing cruise port and terminals across the world as, with the increasing popularity of cruise holidays, ports are seeing a large increase in the size and number of passenger ships visiting. The local infrastructure is also required to cope with the influx of huge numbers of passengers at a time.
