The awards will be presented at the Breakbulk Europe welcome reception on the main stage, followed by a winners’ reception.
xviii | April 2025 | Dockside Lift & Move Supplement There is also a packed seminar
programme across all three days, including discussions on the growing role of artificial intelligence in dockside logistics, and the importance of modernising port facilities to handle heavy lift and oversized cargo. The stand-out seminar takes place
on Wednesday 14 May. Michael LaFleur, vice president of maritime and facilities at the Port of San Diego, will ask if current electrification technology can really meet the demands of project cargo and heavy-lift transport. Expect him to discuss how battery limitations, engine power requirements, and infrastructure gaps remain significant challenges. This session will also explore how manufacturers are developing electric solutions for heavy transport, the role of ports in supporting shore power and charging networks, and what’s needed to scale electrification across the supply chain.
