British Ports Association Conference 2023
We proudly hosted #BPA2023
Friday morning's tour of the River Thames aboard Uber Boat by Thames Clippers' Earth Clipper marked the end of BPA 2023. Attendees were briefed on infrastructure projects supporting Thames Vision 2050, our strategy for creating the UK’s leading port, central to the nation’s economy, with Net Zero emissions.
We want to take this opportunity to reflect on the key concepts discussed at the 2023 British Ports Association Conference, hosted by the PLA, in partnership with DP World and Gallagher.
