About this event

Already on its 8th highly successful edition, the Green Shipping Summit 2024 is a two-day event that has established itself as a leading forum for advancing sustainable maritime practices. The summit unites key stakeholders from the maritime industry, shipping companies, ports, policy regulators, major industry suppliers and technology providers to address urgent issues such as green fuels markets, shipping & ports decarbonisation practices, major supporting technologies and international and national policies. Among the key topics this year will be global regulations on sulfur limits & upcoming GHG emissions standards and major green ractices and solutions of the whole supply chain players

The summit format includes panel discussions, breakout sessions, and workshops, designed to offer attendees a nuanced and actionable understanding of the challenges and opportunities in the green shipping sector. Building on the success of its previous editions, this year's conference aims to set new benchmarks in collaborative problem-solving and industry alignment. The objective is to provide a holistic and practical roadmap for achieving decarbonization across the shipping & maritime industries as a whole.
