What is it about?

45th ANNUAL INTERFERRY CONFERENCE – THE FUTURE IS FERRIES: October 2-6, 2021, Santander Conference Center, Santander, Spain The 2021 conference in Santander is the premier event in the calendar of shipping conferences. The attendance of a great number of owners and top-level decision-makers in the ferry industry and the lively and interactive atmosphere brings about optimal possibilities for the exchange of experience, ideas and contacts. In addition to the popular CEO roundtables, the sessions – held at the Santander Conference Center – will feature: solutions for GHG emissions reductions; innovative ship and shore design technologies; ferry safety and safety systems; attracting tomorrow’s customers; and supply chain logistics. For more than 45 years, Interferry has served as the shipping association representing the ferry industry worldwide. What began as an organization that largely facilitated networking among our members, has transformed into a highly respected global association with more than 240 members from 37 countries. Today, Interferry not only continues to support networking among our members, but also has a laser-like focus on the safety and security of passengers, crew, cargo and ships. We also ensure that fair and equitable regulations exist for the ferry industry, including free, fair and open competition, as well as the protection of the environment. Interferry has a long-standing commitment to support enhanced safety for domestic ferry transportation in the developing world. We are an organization that is growing steadily and today focus on extending membership to operators in geographic areas currently under-represented among our membership.
