Operational Group
The PA Ship Operational Group gathers together national and regional governments, operational authorities, research institutes, and private sector to discuss the present and future trends in the shipping sector.
Its main aim is to connect PA Ship projects with the wider expert stakeholder group for information exchange.
It also aims to “mind the gap” – to identify industry and research needs.
Meetings are organized twice a year.
