Interferry, the international association representing the ferry industry, has announced its 2026 annual conference will take place in Bangkok, Thailand, from October 31 to November 4. The event, titled "Stronger than Ever… Together," aims to bring together prominent figures and decision-makers from the global ferry sector. The agenda is expected to feature a lineup of keynote speakers and industry leaders who will discuss pressing issues and future directions for the ferry industry, emphasizing the importance of collaboration.
For freight forwarders and logistics professionals, while this conference primarily targets passenger and vehicle ferry operators, discussions on port infrastructure, regulatory changes, and sustainable shipping practices could indirectly impact short-sea shipping and roll-on/roll-off (RoRo) cargo movements. Any developments in ferry network efficiency or environmental regulations might influence multimodal transport options and associated costs in regions heavily reliant on ferry services.
