National Centre of Excellence in Green Ports and Shipping

A two day high level event that will gather maritime industry decision makers from various segments ranging from shipowners; ship managers; ship builders; ship yards; ports; service providers and technology companies to regulators, governments bodies, associations; classification societies and others. The forum will discuss recent global shipping market developments, maritime shipping regulations, and the path to net-zero. Speakers will emphasize cleaner resources and the need for a sustainable maritime transportation sector. They will also discuss LNG as a marine propellant, shipbuilding innovations, future ship design, digitization in the shipping industry, and digitally connected maritime ports. The focus is on achieving a more environmentally friendly future.

Through this conference, delegates will gain strategic insights and practical knowledge about the LNG Shipping. Ship owners and terminal operators will understand on how to balance profitability with environmental compliance. Hear about the company’s investigations into viable decarbonisation pathways and the initiatives that are progressing it towards its target. The conference will throw light on alternative fuels usage and what is the thinking on the roles of BioLNG, e-LNG, ammonia and liquid hydrogen propulsion for the future fleet. It comprises the company's investigations into carbon capture and its role in their net zero journey. It will cover the current status of methane slip abatement technologies and how they could support the 2035 target of turning net zero.

The summit includes discussions on current and emerging regulations affecting Arctic shipping, including international agreements and national policies, examination of the ecological consequences of increased shipping activity in the Arctic, with an emphasis on sustainable practices and mitigation strategies, insights into new technologies and innovations that are shaping Arctic shipping, including ice-class ships, navigation systems, and fuel efficiency and strategies for addressing the unique safety challenges posed by Arctic conditions, including risk assessment and emergency response planning. Infrastructure Development: Exploration of the infrastructure needed to support Arctic shipping, such as ports, i

To mitigate the environmental impact and move towards a more sustainable future, the maritime industry continues to examine different solutions, such as cleaner technologies and alternative fuels. Key players in the maritime and shipping industry will meet for three days of compelling debate, knowledge sharing and unrivalled networking. Leading authorities with a solid understanding of next-generation hybrid, electric and hydrogen fuel-cell technologies will discuss the possibilities, opportunities and challenges facing the sector. Some of the crucial topics to be addressed over the three days include: Advantages of electrification of marine transport, the port’s role in the energy transition, rethinking ship design for battery power, trends in electric, hybrid and fuel-cell vessels.

The Innovation Forum is a collaboration between the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the International Maritime Organization (IMO), with backing from the Norwegian government. By offering a worldwide forum for the exchange of best practices and bridging identified gaps through the collection and dissemination of ideas and the most recent advancements among a wide range of stakeholders, the Forum seeks to foster innovation. The Innovation Forum's objective is to present green technologies and how they are being used around the world to boost the blue economy, especially in developing nations.

At the Global Maritime Forum Annual Summit, participants are at the center of the agenda. The event is a highly interactive gathering where participants work together to find collaborative solutions. To get the best experience, participants are encouraged to attend all sessions during the event, as they will complement each other throughout the programme. Ambitious action on shipping decarbonization, improving well-being both on land and at sea, and responding to global trade's changing geopolitical and economic realities are sure to be at the heart of many discussions.

The purpose of the conference is to examine the primary uses of SS LNG in transportation, logistics, and core technologies that will further decarbonize the economy and spur economic growth. Industry experts, policymakers, and stakeholders will be present. Panels will evaluate SSLNG's strategic contribution to reaching net-zero goals, its compliance with EU climate goals, and its incorporation of advanced production methods. It will provide a forum for discussing LNG's future and changing place in Europe's energy mix, with an emphasis on geopolitical changes and the worldwide movement toward decarbonization. It will delve into the regulatory effects of decarbonization efforts and the strategic development of LNG infrastructure.

Recognising that this is the decade of action, and that action needs to be guided by strong political momentum, the 2024 Brazilian G20 Presidency is using the coalition-building power of the Clean Energy Ministerial and Mission Innovation to convene clean energy experts from public and private sectors, academia, innovators and civil society institutions to gather to demonstrate concrete clean energy actions in support of the G20 Energy Transition Agenda. This unique moment will bring together Ministers and senior officials from around the world, representing over 80% of global clean energy investments and the majority of public clean energy R&D spending, together with C-suite executives and heads of international organisations to agree on concrete steps to make clean energy transitions.

This conference will Update participants on progress in tackling climate change goals across the transportation industry. This event will discuss key sectors such as shipping, ports, logistics, aviation, rail, road, and intermodal. Advancements in transportation technology will be demonstrated.

The conference programme throws light on various concepts including , alternative fuels as the future of clean energy shipping with discussions on e-fuels, biofuels, and alternative fuels for ships; strategies for green ports and just-in-time arrivals to optimise marine fuel efficiency; emissions-reduction technologies in onboard carbon capture and storage technologies. It also covers the latest regulatory landscape for maritime decarbonisation, including updates from the IMO, exploring alternative fuels like efuels, methanol, ammonia, and hydrogen, and their role in reducing GHG emissions. Learn from industry leaders about their experiences with sustainable shipping solutions and energy-efficient shipping technologies.
