TOC Europe Rotterdam

TOC Europe is an annual trade fair accompanied by a conference that has established itself as a key platform for innovation, exchange, and business development in the global port, shipping, and terminal industry. Organized by Informa Markets, a division of the internationally renowned Informa PLC, it takes place at the modern Rotterdam Ahoy convention center and brings together leading decision-makers and professionals from across the sector. As part of the global TOC Events Worldwide network—active since 1976 and also hosting events in Africa, Asia, and the Americas—TOC Europe combines a global outlook with strong regional relevance.

What sets TOC Europe apart is its dedicated focus on the entire container supply chain, from terminal technology to maritime digitalization. The event features a comprehensive exhibition of state-of-the-art equipment and technologies, alongside a high-caliber conference program that blends technical insights with strategic discussions. Industry professionals—including terminal operators, shipping lines, logistics providers, technology companies, and port authorities—gain practical insights into the latest developments in port automation, digital transformation, sustainable infrastructure, and supply chain resilience. Highlights include energy-efficient cargo handling solutions, automated container terminals, digital twins, and cutting-edge robotics—advancements that clearly signal the industry's ongoing transformation.

Special emphasis is also placed on current challenges such as decarbonization, optimizing intermodal transport links, and safeguarding port infrastructure against cyber threats. The program is enriched by a wide range of networking opportunities, including expert talks, panel discussions, and roundtables, where industry leaders share knowledge, exchange best practices, and forge new partnerships.

With its clear professional focus, specialized themes, and the integration of exhibition, conference, and networking formats, TOC Europe is much more than a conventional trade fair—it is considered a cornerstone event for the European terminal and port industry.

The TOC Europe takes place annually, and therefore for the 48th time previsibly in June 2026 in Rotterdam.
