Port Preparedness: Lithium Batteries

Often labelled as a "low frequency, high consequence" risk, lithium-ion battery fires pose a pressing risk for the maritime industry, especially as the importation of electric vehicles, including mining equipment, e-bikes and e-scooters, continues to rise. A panel of industry experts will explore how these fires could impact both marine and landside operations, focusing on infrastructure hardening, risk mitigation, and emergency and environmental response planning.
