🌊 We are thrilled to announce that Antoon Van Coillie, CEO of ZULU Associates, will be joining us as an esteemed speaker at the Connecting Ports talk show on June 26th, from 3:00 PM to 4:30 PM. The show will delve into the topic: "Navigating Next: The Path to Autonomous Maritime Transport." Antoon is a visionary entrepreneur with a mission to support a real modal shift from road to waterway in areas plagued by road congestion and emission issues. Through ZULU Associates, he has created a platform dedicated to initiating, developing, integrating, and investing in the marine component of logistic chains. Key areas of development include autonomous inland barges, autonomous short sea shipping vessels, and alternative propulsion modes aimed at achieving zero or near-zero emission propulsion. In addition, Antoon founded the Anglo Belgian Shipping Company to develop autonomous cross-channel vessels, utilizing the same base technology as in inland shipping. Join us as we explore pressing questions with Antoon: How do we advance with autonomous vessels in urban, inland, and coastal waters? What impact will this have on ports and terminals in these areas? What questions do you have for Antoon? Join the show, and pose your questions! Register now: https://lnkd.in/eWYVC23v We look forward to a lively debate! #ConnectingPorts #AutonomousWaterTransport #MaritimeInnovation #SustainableShipping #LogisticsRevolution
