In a milestone partnership, DP World, a provider of global end-to-end supply chain solutions, has partnered with the Port of London Authority (PLA), host of the British Ports Association (BPA) annual conference 2023.
The event (17-19 October) will take place at the Leonardo Royal Hotel London Tower Bridge, with the partnership reflecting DP World’s continuing support for the UK maritime sector – a cornerstone of the British economy that manages 95% of all international trade, facilitating over 25 million international passenger journeys annually.
In addition to its UK hubs at London Gateway and Southampton, DP World’s offer includes the P&O Ferries and P&O Ferrymasters subsidiaries, and contract logistics businesses respectively, all of which are being integrated into the company’s global network.
Operating in 78 countries, DP World now handles 10 per cent of world trade.
Hosted by the PLA and in partnership with DP World, the conference promises to be a riveting assembly of industry frontrunners. It is a platform for participation from port members, associates, government officials, regulators, and international maritime representatives in two days of thought-provoking panel discussions, keynote speeches, and expert presentations. Additionally, the conference will offer delegates ample networking opportunities.
The event will begin with a welcome reception along the Thames, followed by a celebratory ‘Party in the Sky’ and will wrap up with a gala dinner, presented by DP World, honouring the maritime community’s accomplishments.
