Armchair discussion: Do the political and regulatory ambitions for OPS align with the engineering and economic realities?

16 Jun 2026
Singapore Room
Do regulatory ambitions for OPS align with engineering realities?
This discussion brings together people who come at the same challenge of OPS implementation from slightly different directions. One as the president of trade association which advocates for European and national policies and initiatives toward decarbonised port electrification. The other from an engineering background. The discussion aims to identify areas of contrast by adding a more comprehensive view of not only the benefits and regulations, but also the practical constraints!
