Scheduled for February 28, 2024, at 2:45 PM local time, the University of Trieste is poised to convene a critical dialogue titled “The Middle Eastern Crisis and Adriatic Port Facilities: Exploring Economic and Legal Scenarios.” Against the backdrop of escalating tensions in the Middle East, particularly concerning attacks on commercial traffic through the Suez Canal, this event assumes paramount importance.
At the heart of the discussion is the potential impact on global trade routes, with a specific focus on Adriatic ports. Of particular interest is the port of Trieste’s ongoing efforts to reclaim its role as a linchpin in facilitating trade with Central Europe. The gathering, slated to take place in Aula Bachelet, 1st floor, Building A, Piazzale Europa 1, promises to attract a diverse array of experts and stakeholders.
Key figures set to contribute include Zeno D’Agostino, President of the Eastern Adriatic Sea Port System Authority, and Stefano Zunarelli, a renowned professor of Maritime Law from the University of Bologna. Their insights, alongside those of other esteemed panelists, are expected to shed light on the challenges facing Adriatic ports in the wake of the Middle Eastern crisis.
With the discussion scheduled to conclude at 4:45 PM, the event seeks to not only identify potential vulnerabilities but also explore actionable strategies to safeguard global trade routes amidst geopolitical uncertainty.
