Collaborating to Drive the Global Decarbonisation of the Maritime Industry
Following last year's event, we will be co-locating the
LNG Bunkering Summit with the
Alternative Future Marine Fuel Summit in Amsterdam. This year’s discussion, however, will extend far beyond a comparison of fuels. The focus is now on understanding which fuel strategies will yield the lowest commercial risk under uncertain policy conditions, and how shipowners, fuel suppliers, ports, and investors can collectively shape a more stable market.
The postponed adoption of the IMO's Net-Zero Framework has deprived the maritime industry of long-awaited certainty. Without a global standard on carbon pricing, GHG reduction and emissions targets, the critical momentum of low-carbon fuels is under serious threat.
Global regulation might be on pause, but the industry - and Global Maritime Decarbonisation – certainly is not. Vessels are on order, infrastructure is being built - and compliance costs are already being levied under EU ETS and FuelEU Maritime. The absence of regulatory certainty does not stop the transition; it only increases the risk of getting it wrong.
The coming year must be used to strengthen fuel pathways, prepare for any regulatory outcome in October 2026, and ensure that investments being made today will not become stranded tomorrow.
Benefits of Attending
- Advance your decarbonisation strategy by engaging directly with stakeholders including fuel suppliers and industry leaders and understanding the market projected availability
- Gather in one central forum to discuss not only current operational challenges within well-established LNG pathways, but also what viability in the multi-fuel approach there is for your fleet
- Prepare your organisation for FuelEU Maritime and EU ETS compliance by learning from experts, and gain a competitive edge through new technology and infrastructure in emerging fuel sectors.
- Strengthen your prominence in the industry by connecting with those that are well established partners of the event, and many new key stakeholders that are pivotal to decarbonisation in the industry
- Share ideas and collaborate on new innovations with mitigating the emissions from current shipping, through detailed discussions on methane slip technology, carbon capture, and the costs associated.
