An array of distinguished speakers and industry leaders will lead thought-provoking discussions across critical topics. Panels such as “Alternative Energy and Fuels Review and Outlook” and “Sailing Efficiency – Shipowner’s Perspective” offer insights into renewable energy integration and operational efficiency. These discussions will be enriched by the expertise of leaders like Mr. Meng Desheng of ABB Marine & Ports, Mr. James Le of Alfa Laval, and Mr. Guy Platten of the International Chamber of Shipping, among many others. The focus on collaboration across the maritime value chain, as explored in “Industry Chain Support,” highlights the collective effort required to propel the industry toward decarbonization.

Beyond the sessions, attendees will witness the latest technological advancements showcased by leading sponsors. Companies such as Bestway, Bicentric Technology, and Zhenjiang Tongzhou Propeller will present innovations that redefine efficiency and sustainability. The exhibition floor will serve as a hub of discovery, where state-of-the-art solutions meet real-world challenges.

Networking opportunities at the conference will further enhance its value. Whether during dedicated networking sessions or the exclusive closing dinner, participants will have the chance to engage with industry pioneers and forge meaningful partnerships. The event aims to catalyze collaborative efforts that will shape the future of maritime technology.
