Yesterday had a very interesting day as a speaker in a panel at the #MaritiemLand event
Yesterday had a very interesting day as a speaker in a panel at the #MaritiemLand event of the #KNVR #DutchShipping in #Rotterdam. Main focus areas were #energytransition #fuels #geopolitics #position #DutchMaritime #Maritiem and the future challenges of fuel substitution and hard needed #innovation and #design of new vessels, including the role of the #Dutch #Navy, with in the background #EUCID #CleanIndustrialDeal and #ReArmEurope. Thanks go out to organizers #KNVR hashtag#MaritiemLand for setting up these discussions, as a strategy towards #EU #Brussels #IMO and the #Dutchgovernment is needed, to support and strengthen the role of the NL Maritime Sectors (including #ports).
