Following a wave of successful online debates, Mare Forum is pleased to announce its next high-level webinar answering the question “Is Maritime decarbonization under Siege?

➤ Date: Monday, 20 October 2025
➤ Time: 14:00 PM- 15:00 PM CET (Rotterdam)‍

➤ Immediately after the MEPC Extraordinary meeting’s vote on the Net Zero Framework, in a Mare Forum dynamic roundtable discussion, maritime industry leaders will exchange, hopefully, bold and strategic views on the outlook for the energy transition and maritime decarbonization, today and tomorrow

➤ THE PANELLISTS:

- Nicholas Brown, Corporate Affairs Director. Marine & Offshore Bureau Veritas
- Harris Antoniou, Founder and Managing Director, Neptune Maritime Leasing Ltd
- Stephen Walsh, Head of Brokerage, SCB Environmental Markets SA

- Sanjay C Kuttan, Founder and CEO, Kai Gaia International Advisory
- More panellists to be announced

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.‍

We are excited to see you participate.‍
