ESN is first and foremost a forum for exchange of practical information and experience and not a legal entity with a formal organisation. The main objective of ESN is to enhance the image of short
sea shipping in the broadest sense of the word on a European level vis-à-vis the transport buyers at large including forwarders and to encourage, by practical means, a move towards short sea
shipping.
