European Maritime Day To Be Held Leeside

Cork City has been named as the host city for the European Maritime Day in 2020.

The nomination by the Council of the European Union will see over 1,000 stakeholders from across the European Union coming together in Cork to discuss the development of this sector.

This will be the first time that Ireland has hosted this flagship event.

Meanwhile SeaFest, Ireland's national maritime festival, will take place in Cork in conjunction with the conference.
