– Enough with political divisions and constructed oppositions; everything is now in place to start going big and decarbonizing as fast as possible.
– Ports are ready to take a leading role, both on hydrogen imports โ by developing and adapting their infrastructure to welcome increasingly complex green and synthetic molecules come 2030 โ and on domestic hydrogen production โ by fostering local circular business models, innovation, and by acting as early-adopters of key hydrogen technologies such as hydrogen-powered tug boats, offshore wind service shuttles, hydrogen cranes, support trucks, automated container dispatchers, and so on.
– Benelux ports such as Antwerp-Bruges, Rotterdam and Amsterdam are leading this scale-up and paving the way for other European ports to follow suit, and Luxembourgish actors in shipbuilding, fleet management, legal advisory and multimodal fluvial and road logistics are supporting this change, too.
