The Port Authority of the Bay of Algeciras (APBA) will incorporate into its agenda for the upcoming commercial mission to Japan participation in the TradeWinds Shipowners Forum Japan 2026, which will be held on October 29 in Tokyo. The president of the port institution, Gerardo Landaluce, will intervene as a speaker at this event, integrated into the program that the Algeciras delegation will develop in the Japanese market between October 27 and 29.
The forum will take place at the Conrad Tokyo and will gather for one day leaders from shipping companies, financial firms, energy companies, shipyards, and technology firms to analyze the main changes currently affecting international maritime transport and, specifically, the Japanese industry.
TradeWinds presents this edition under the theme From volatility to vantage: Positioning Japan for leadership at the helm of change, with a program focused on the decisions facing the sector due to the limited capacity available in shipyards, the adoption of alternative fuels, technological transformation, and the disruptions still affecting the main international maritime routes.
Among the topics planned are the financing of fleet renewal and new generation ships, the application of artificial intelligence and automation to maritime transport, the development of autonomous navigation, decarbonization options and fuels, as well as the adaptation of shipowners to an international scenario conditioned by changes in trade flows and geopolitical factors. The program will also address business planning and management strategies for the coming years.tradewindsevents.com
