The impact we have on the climate and above all, the possibilities we have to reduce it, are dominating themes of our times. Every activity has an effect, including activities that are not so obvious. We can all relate to the fact that the products and goods that we use as we go about our daily business require resources to manufacture and to dispose of. However, we rarely think about the transportation of such products and goods. For example, when tomatoes are transported from a commercial tomato grower in Spain, to the local shop, and finally to our kitchen table at home.

The biggest topics on the agenda have, for good reason, become sustainability, climate responsibility and environmental awareness, and these are topics that everyone in the transport sector needs to include in their work to discover the transport models of the future.

According to the Port of Hirtshals, the answer is yes. At the same time, the director of the port Jens Kirketerp Jensen also acknowledges that it is a big task to make cargo owners and transporters contemplate if there is a better alternative to their current transport solution.
