Ports at the Frontline: Resilient Supply Chains in a Shifting Global Landscape 

The Swedish Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce a Save the Date for a high-level German-Swedish maritime forum taking place in Kiel, bringing together senior decision-makers from the port, logistics and industrial sectors across both countries. 

Co-hosted by chamber members Stena Line and Port of Kiel, as well as Port of Gothenburg and Port of Hamburg Marketing, the forum will provide a platform for strategic exchange on the resilience of maritime supply chains in an increasingly complex geopolitical and economic environment. 

Against the backdrop of shifting trade routes, geopolitical uncertainty and growing pressure on global logistics systems, resilient cooperation across the Baltic Sea region is becoming a decisive factor for economic stability and competitiveness.

The programme will include keynote speeches, a moderated high-level panel discussion, industry perspectives and dedicated networking formats. In addition, participants will have the opportunity to join a joint vessel tour aboard a Stena Line ferry, offering a practical perspective on maritime operations and cross-border connectivity.
