The transition to lower-carbon port operations continues to be a key focus across the maritime sector, with collaboration, innovation and investment all playing an important role in delivering meaningful progress.
As a sponsor of the Port Electrification Conference, Ashfords contributed to discussions exploring the opportunities and challenges associated with port electrification and wider energy transition projects. Jonathan Croley, Partner in our commercial team, shared insights on the legal and commercial considerations involved in delivering electrification projects, drawing on his and the firm's extensive experience advising ports, harbours and major energy infrastructure developments.
Drawing on that experience, Jonathan highlighted three key areas influencing the future of port electrification: procurement, grid capacity, and the role of policy and regulation in supporting port decarbonisation. The discussion also explored how ports can plan for long-term energy demands, improve resilience and unlock future investment opportunities.
