It is insightful and collaborative. A platform bridging new knowledge, future thinking, and collaboration. Georgios Atzampos Ship Design & Transformation Manager Maersk Mc-Kinney Møller Center
I am happy to be a repeater, I first attended in 2011. In my opinion it is a must attend. Captain Wolfram Guntermann Director Regulatory Affairs Hapag-Lloyd AG
I really appreciated the level of presentations, discussion, and questions. They reached a level of deeper than usual conferences on maritime decarbonisation. Stefan Fahrnholz Manager R&D – Decarbonisation Carnival Maritime
The Propulsion & Future Fuels Conference is always one that is interesting to visit because it is one of the few conferences where I find that I might learn something. Edward Ng General Manager – Technology Gulf Oil Marine Ltd
It gives a real testing of where the industry is with propulsion and fuels. Also I think looking at the big topics companies are thinking about; almost every single session is focused on sustainability and decarbonisation, and I would imagine going back a few years you wouldn’t have such a dominant focus in that area, so I think it is a good way to see where the industry is at. Joe Bettles Climate Policy & Analysis Manager Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping
