About the workshop
Batumi State Maritime Academy (BSMA) and WIMA Europe are jointly organising the BLUE PORTS Awareness Workshop, with the support of the UNDP Georgia project “Greening the Future”, funded by the Government of Denmark.
Ports and their surrounding businesses are under growing pressure to reduce emissions, manage waste and use cleaner energy, while remaining competitive. The workshop brings together representatives of the port ecosystem to discuss the green transition of ports and the opportunities it creates for companies, professionals and educational institutions.
The aim is to raise awareness of blue ports and of modern trends shaping the sector, and to open a practical conversation among those who will carry this transition forward.
