The congress, which took place from November 11 to 13, brought together institutional representatives, port authorities, shipping companies, energy companies, technological entities, and research organizations. PLOCAN is acting as one of the host entities, alongside the port authorities of Las Palmas and Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Baleària Canarias, and Alimia Shipyards.
The inaugural session addressed international and European regulations, ship decarbonization, green corridors, and emerging technologies. It also covered shore power supply (OPS), terminal electrification, and the deployment of renewable energies in port environments.
PLOCAN's participation aligns with its membership in the Net-Zero MAR Alliance since 2025 and its contribution to the sector's energy transition. The platform supports the generation of marine renewable energies, the development of decarbonization technologies, and smart energy management, particularly in port and blue economy applications.
During the congress, a maritime visit was made to the Port of Las Palmas, where PLOCAN showcased its work, allowing participants to experience infrastructure and experimentation capabilities related to marine innovation and technological solutions.
The final day of the congress focused on renewable energies in ports, offshore wind, terminal machinery electrification, vocational training for sustainable maritime mobility, and updates on ship power supply studies.
Through its presence at this forum, PLOCAN strengthens collaboration with key players in the maritime-port ecosystem and contributes to cleaner, more efficient maritime transport, aligned with European and international climate objectives.
