SAIL is half way the marathon

On 6 November 2013 project leader Anne de Vries opens the SAIL conference in the Intell hotel in Rotterdam (The Netherlands) According to Anne the project is half way the marathon. SAIL has produced a few documents already: there is a catalogue, a score matrix for the different technical solutions, Fairtransport developed a pitchbook and did a towing test and Jade Hochschule made a Wiki for partners. For 2014 we have already started preparing the partner meeting at the tall ship race in Harlingen, The Netherlands, 2 to 4 July.’

In the afternoon several interesting speakers informed the almost 90 participants about:

  • Interreg IVB project MariTIM
  • the competition with motorships
  • Business as usual is history
  • people-planet-profit-port
  • radical visions
  • the best actions
  • Keep the Faith
  • Subsidies are scary things
  • To get a breakthrough it is better to focus on some niches
