Do Northern European ports and port authorities have the right tools to perform as expected?In a recent speech Siim Kallas, European Commission Vice-President and Commissioner for Transport said that “our ports vary widely in their operational efficiency, which creates a real divide across Europe in performance and quality of services... bottlenecks are often due to low efficiency... It is vitally important that ports are able to compete efficiently and globally against rival ports” and spoke of the challenging times ahead for the port sector.To address these challenges and look to the future, we are extremely pleased to announce our 4th Annual Port Finance International London conference. Over two days this event will bring together over 100 key industry experts from the port and terminal industry as well as from the banking, regulatory, commercial and legal sectors.This year the conference will place a spotlight on the ports of Northern Europe and their plans for expansion and development, whilst also investigating opportunities in the region for growth and investment. Port Finance International London 2012 will provide a platform for ports to showcase their own strategic strengths, while allowing potential investors and other business partners to assess the potential opportunities in this sector - giving everyone the chance to discuss the critical concerns facing the market in the coming months and years.
