BeNeLux

  • Overview

Our BeNeLux Branch is made up of members from Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg. This collective region includes several of the busiest ports in Europe such as the ports of Antwerp and Rotterdam. With a bustling shipbuilding industry, the Branch takes an ambitious approach towards shipping safety, environmental issues, both under and above water, and many other marine related issues.  

Our diverse group is open to all, from curious newcomers to industry experts. Join the BeNeLux Branch to participate in insightful conversations and events across the region.
