The 2025 Motorship Propulsion and Future Fuels conference, 25-27 November, will once again return to the Empire Riverside Hotel in Hamburg, Germany. 

Hamburg is once again the city of choice for the wide variety of delegates who choose to make this conference the must-attend event of the year. It is a leading maritime hub, with excellent access and a bustling city atmosphere. 

Feedback from last year’s delegates confirms that the Empire Riverside Hotel is ideal for the conference, with excellent facilities and situated in a vibrant area of the city. The towering skyline of the hotel is a familiar feature in the heart of St. Pauli, between the harbour, the River Elbe and the Reeperbahn and offers delegates a bird’s eye view of the city.  

The hotel is also close to the famous Landungsbrücken, literally the ‘landing bridges’, which were once a landing pier for steam ships, and which now function as a connector for various lines of Hamburg’s local train and ferry systems.
