The Welsh Ports Group, a sub-committee that discusses and manages all business and developments concerning Welsh Ports, held their annual Senedd reception at the historic Pierhead Building in Cardiff Bay on Wednesday this week, 27th September.
The Ports Group reception saw the gathering of a multitude of representatives from many organisations including various stakeholders, the British Ports Association, and politicians, as they gathered to show their support for the ports industry which contributes so much to our Welsh heritage, culture, and economy.
Commenting on the success of the event, Samuel Kurtz MS said:
“Ports have played a unique part in the history of Wales, especially here in Pembrokeshire, so I was delighted to sponsor this year’s Senedd reception for the Welsh Ports Group.
“Whilst the history is impressive, it’s the future of ports which excites the industry and I the most. With opportunities in floating offshore wind and the Celtic Freeport, there really was an air of optimism in the room as we looked forward to the future of the Welsh Ports Industry.
“Ports are hubs for economic activity, and I hope that we can continue to focus the minds of Welsh and UK governments on their importance as we move forwards.”
