The British Ports Association is to continue its strong partnership with Coastlink at the 2025 event, to be held in the Port of Bilbao. That partnership is now in its sixth year.
The British Ports Association is a national membership body for ports. It represents the interests of operators that handle 86% of all UK port traffic, to Westminster and devolved Governments, and other national and international bodies.
BPA members represent a very broad cross section of the UK port industry encompassing the trust, private and municipal sectors. Its members cover every kind of activity ranging from large cargo handling ports and terminal operators to small leisure ports.
Commenting on the continuing partnership, Chief Executive of the BPA, Richard Ballantyne, said:
“We are delighted to confirm our continued support for Coastlink. It is a valuable network for the short sea shipping and supply chain community with the port sector central to the debate. Cross-collaboration remains key to the mix of industry discussions around sustainability, energy transition, policy, and emerging market pressures.”
Join Richard Ballantyne at the 2025 Coastlink Conference, taking place on 29 and 30 April in the Port of Bilbao. As a supporting association to Coastlink, BPA members benefit from a 15% discount on the delegate rate.
