Join The University of Liverpool Management School’s interactive industry workshop to discover the opportunities and best practice for decarbonising and economically revitalising Port-Cities and their hinterlands, and explore the potential for Hamilton and Liverpool.

­Hosted by the Management School’s Centre for Supply Chain Research and funded by the University of Liverpool Management School’s (ULMS) and McMaster University’s Global Partnerships Fund, this workshop provides an excellent opportunity to gain first hand insights from specialist researchers and industry leaders on the benefits from creating more sustainable and resilient maritime transportation systems.

During the event, you will discover examples of best practice in transport decarbonisation and economic revitalisation, and how improvements in infrastructure and operations can positively impact the broader supply chain, and the cities and surrounding areas where they exist.

As well as enjoying 15 minutes expert talks from port and freight operators (Hamilton-Oshawa Port Authority -HOPA Ports-, Freightliner, Peel Ports Group), regional cluster organisations (Mersey Maritime) and researchers from the ULMS and McMaster University, you will also have the opportunity to take part in roundtable discussions on the future opportunities for Hamilton (Canada) and Liverpool (UK).

We welcome any businesses, industry stakeholders and policymakers that seek to improve their decision-making and strategies within the sea freight industry, as well as researchers and PhD students with and interest in maritime transport operations and supply chain management.
