About the event
ISPS compliance sits higher on the agenda of port companies than ever. It is about more than a legal obligation. A watertight access policy keeps a terminal safe, keeps operations running and maintains trust across the entire port ecosystem.
Together with Voka | VeGHO, we cover the whole picture in one afternoon. We look at what the law asks of terminals and what that looks like at the gate during a typical working day.
