Following the adoption of the EU Ports Strategy in March 2026, the upcoming Electrification Action Plan (EAP) presents a key opportunity to accelerate the electrification of European ports and vessels and to move away from fossil fuel dependencies.

T&E’s panel discussion will bring together policymakers, electricity and shoreside electricity companies, port authorities and shipping companies to discuss how the upcoming EAP can effectively support the electrification of the European shipping industry.
