This event will accommodate a max of 3 panels with a max of 15 speakers with a 75-min panel discussion of each panel. The 4th SAFETY4SEA London Forum will focus on Safety, Smart & Environmental Regulatory Developments, Human Factors, STCW, ILO MLC, SIRE 2.0, loss prevention, risk management, e-navigation, cyber security, big data, AI, air emissions, decarbonization in shipping, ESG in shipping, safety, smart, green technologies, and experience transfer beyond compliance.

The event lays emphasis on sustainable shipping solutions by adopting LNG and hydrogen as alternative fuels to reduce carbon emissions and meet international regulations on environmental performance. Discussions on the latest technologies improving efficiency and reducing the environmental impact of shipping, such as advanced propulsion systems and energy-efficient vessel designs are also covered. Analysis of the current market conditions, investment opportunities, and economic factors influencing the shipping and marine sector has been done.

The event includes session on the US Department of Energy’s $2.2 billion funding initiative, plans for expanding global CO2 transport networks, practical implications of scaling up US CO2 transport and storage, and a global perspective on industry trends. Plans for expanding CO2 transport infrastructure, both in terms of pipelines and shipping capabilities, to support its growing CCS project portfolio. To establish a viable CO2 shipping and storage industry in the United States, the session will give insights of how industry needs to develop tailored regulations, embrace advanced ship design and enhance port infrastructure. Transferrable lessons from the LNG industry will address technical challenges and uncertainties in the early stages of CO2 Shipping and terminal projects

Worldwide there is an acute shortage of port capacity to meet the demands of the rapidly growing offshore wind sector. In the Asia Pacific (APAC) region alone, port capacity needs to grow fourfold over the next decade. This creates a huge opportunity but also challenges. One will get practical advice and guidance on what is needed to transform a port into a world-class wind port. The webinar will cover- Essential steps to transforming a port into a commercial hub for wind energy logistics, supply chains, and infrastructure for fixed and floating wind farms; Proven strategies for financing a port transformation; Expert guidance on stakeholder management to ensure smooth implementation; Strategies to de-risk your investments and secure funding.

The International Conference on Green Hydrogen 2024 brings together leading experts, policymakers, and industry pioneers to explore the transformative potential of green hydrogen in advancing global sustainability and energy transition. This year's conference, themed "Pioneering Sustainable Solutions," focuses on cutting-edge research, technological innovations, and strategic policy frameworks essential for scaling up green hydrogen production, storage, and utilization. Key discussions will center on breakthrough technologies in electrolysis and renewable energy integration, advancements in hydrogen infrastructure, and the role of green hydrogen in decarbonizing sectors such as transportation, industry, and power generation. The conference aims to foster collaborative efforts.

The National Shipbuilding Office (NSO) will curate a morning of speeches, discussion and networking opportunities, with experts from the NSO, government procurement teams and industry. With a theme of delivering on the refreshed National Shipbuilding Strategy, talks will focus on key areas of delivery including: reducing the skills gap across the sector; improving government procurement opportunities and process with a specific focus on SME’s and supply chain companies and providing industry with foresight and a pipeline of procurement opportunities. There will be opportunity to engage with the NSO through a panel discussion and multiple networking opportunities.

The summit's highlights include: latest environmental legislation of shipping in Asia, current maritime policies impacting ports and shipping operations in Asia, green shipping transition in practice and unlocking the potential of new fuels for shipping decarbonization. The summit also throws light on way to decarbonize shipping sector using renewable wind power. It will also cover the latest technological method that is advanced marine propulsion system that will enable the future of zero-carbon shipping. The role of digitalization & Artificial Intelligence in the decarbonization of shipping will also be disseminated in the summit.

SMM Conferences include : Trade Winds Shipowners Forum, global maritime environmental congress, International conference on maritime security and defence and Offshore Dialogue.
