We are delighted to announce that ODS Orient has won the prestigious XXVI Euromed Convention in Athens as Best Customer was honoured. This annual event, organised by the Grimaldi Group, brings together leading players from the logistics, shipping and finance sectors to discuss innovative strategies for sustainable logistics.
From 11 to 13 October, 800 top representatives from the industry gathered to discuss the challenges and opportunities for sustainable logistics and the path to a sustainable future. Net zero emissions by 2050 to speak. Innovation, alternative fuels and integrated logistics systems were at the centre of the discussions. The convention was characterised by inspiring contributions and forward-looking strategies presented by experts such as Emanuele GrimaldiManaging Director of the Grimaldi Group, as well as important personalities from business and politics.
Grimaldi presented its latest developments and investments in environmentally friendly technologies ahead. Seven new ships have already been delivered, while a further 20 - including modern "Ammonia Ready" PCTCs - are under construction. These vessels will significantly expand the Grimaldi Group's fleet and contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. The new investments also include ports and terminals in Europe and beyond, such as the Terminal Darsena Toscana in Livorno and the Heraklion harbour. The result is a comprehensive logistics network that optimally combines efficiency and sustainability.
This year's discussions centred on two main topics. In the first panel, "Innovation as a driver for net zero emissions", an international panel spoke about the need to promote technological advances and regulatory frameworks to drive green logistics. The second panel dealt with "The role of the public and private sector in improving port activities", with contributions from leading port operators and government representatives. The convention thus offered comprehensive insights into the role of shipping in the creation of a sustainable Euro-Mediterranean area.

Why the West Coast now? The ports on the North American west coast – including Los Angeles/Long Beach, Oakland, Seattle/Tacoma and Vancouver/Prince Rupert in Canada – are central hubs for vehicle, machinery and project cargo. In 2025, port emission requirements in California will become more stringent (e.g. CARB At-Berth Rule), while US Customs (CBP), EPA/DOT and Transport Canada/RIV will introduce clear processes for vehicle imports [...].
Why Peru is particularly exciting in 2025 Peru is a central logistics hub on the Pacific coast of South America. The port of Callao in particular offers ideal conditions for shipping vehicles, machinery and rollable project cargo. Thanks to RoRo (roll-on/roll-off), predictable processes, short port times and low packaging costs are possible. In 2025, stricter regulations will also apply to emissions, fuels and vehicle registration. Anyone who […]
