Québec city, March 1, 2019 – Green Marine is heading back to the Great Lakes for its 12th annual conference. GreenTech 2019 will take place at the Cleveland Westin Downtown Hotel from June 5-7, 2019.

PRELIMINARY PROGRAM NOW ONLINE

The conference will discuss issues directly related to Green Marine environmental certification’s performance indicators, such as:

  • Greenhouse gas emissions
  • Community relations and impacts

GreenTech 2019 will also tackle emerging issues and other topics relevant to vessel and port sustainability, including:

  • The human factor in shipping sustainability
  • Dredging and habitat restoration
  • Big data / data analytics
  • Traffic management

As always, there will be expert knowledge, actual experience and best practices shared, along with detailed information about innovative sustainability initiatives, and great networking opportunities.

GreenTech 2019 will as usual feature a commercial exhibition.

The scientific researchers and non-governmental organizations are invited to submit proposals for poster presentations at GreenTech 2019.

The submission deadline for proposals is April 15, 2019.

A CRUISE ON THE AGENDA!

A hearty welcome awaits the delegates of GreenTech 2019: they will be invited to visit the iconic Rock & Roll Hall of Fame on Thursday night for the certification reception and the Port of Cleveland is providing a cruise tour of its premises. Both tours have limited seating.
