The Coop’s participation reflects the network’s commitment to building stronger connections and shared growth across the Mediterranean logistics community
The Cooperative Logistics Network has announced its role as a Supporting Organization for Mediterranean Ports and Logistics 2026, a major industry event focused on port operations, shipping, and supply chain innovation in the Mediterranean region.
The event will be held from 28th to 30th April 2026 at the Sheraton Porto Hotel & Spa in Porto, Portugal, bringing together a diverse group of professionals from across the maritime and logistics sectors.
Hosted by the Administration of the Ports of Douro, Leixões and Viana do Castelo (APDL), and supported by YILPORT Holding as Strategic Partner, the conference is expected to attract over 400 participants, including representatives from port authorities, government bodies, shipping companies, freight forwarders, and logistics service providers.
The event will open with a visit to Porto’s port and logistics facilities, giving attendees an opportunity to see first-hand how operations are managed in one of the region’s key trade hubs. Over the following two days, industry experts will lead discussions on important topics such as digital transformation in ports, sustainable shipping solutions, infrastructure development, connectivity with inland markets, and building more resilient supply chains.
Additionally, Porto continues to play a significant role in connecting trade routes between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, supporting a wide range of industries linked to global commerce.
Through its involvement in this event, The Cooperative aims to encourage greater collaboration among its members and the wider logistics community. It also provides a valuable opportunity for members to connect with industry peers, exchange ideas, and explore new avenues for cooperation in the Mediterranean region.
