➤ Time: 14:00 PM- 15:00 PM CET (Rotterdam)

➤ THE PANELLISTS:

Join leading shipowners, financiers, charterers, and innovators as we ask:
➤ THE THEMES TO BE DISCUSSED:
- What happened at IMO?
- With green fuels still scarce, rising costs, geopolitical turmoil, and regulatory uncertainty, the race to decarbonisation is facing headwinds – where are we now?
- Are current decarbonisation goals realistic; are zero-emission targets a mirage; is the maritime industry’s journey to zero emissions stalling before it truly begins?
- What strategies can deliver impact now?
- Who will lead — and who will lag — in the transition?
- and more, much more!
➤ Expect bold insights, challenging questions, and open debate in true Mare Forum style.
➤ Rest assured, the Mare Forum online roundtable will be an inspiring and enriching experience.
