From fossil fuels to cleantech
With the worldwide maritime sector endeavouring to significantly reduce its carbon footprint, research and innovation will be needed to drive this transition further towards a green, sustainable industry. While hybrid, electric and hydrogen fuel cells are contributing to net zero ambitions, further investments in these and other forms of maritime cleantech will be vital.

Additionally, as the maritime industry integrates more cleantech, it will gradually divest from fossil fuel-powered systems. To drive this transition, a better understanding of when the cut-off will be for these systems is essential.
Other themes will include:
- The latest innovations in fuel systems technology
- How net zero ambitions are encouraging shipowners to invest in carbon-neutral vessels
- How to promote more cooperation and collaboration to drive the transition
- Opportunities that the green shift will provide, and how shipping companies can benefit from them
