Maritime Forum 2024 - A Resilient Future

15 May, 6:00pm - 9:30pm

Royal Thames Yacht Club, 60 Knightsbridge, London SW1X 7LF

In an era where sustainability is no longer an option but a necessity, the maritime industry stands at a critical crossroad. With the vast expanse of commercial operations on our planet's oceans, it's evident that the maritime sector holds both immense responsibility and unparalleled potential for change.

This is Maritime Forum

Guided by our Master of Ceremonies, Camilla Carlbom Flinn, the Maritime Forum will commence with a keynote speech from Dr Iain Percy OBE, a double Olympic and multiple world champion in competitive sailing, whose insights will illuminate the path forward. This will be followed by a high-level gathering of industry leaders and experts in various panels.  

Throughout the forum, we will dissect the realities of shipping in a world marked by geopolitical uncertainties and economic complexities. More importantly, we will explore innovative strategies and cutting-edge technologies aimed at achieving NetZero emissions, from wind propulsion to foiling and beyond.

With a focus on collaboration and actionable solutions, the Maritime Forum aims to foster dialogue, drive innovation, and chart a course towards a more resilient maritime future. Join us as we navigate these uncharted waters and seize the opportunities that lie ahead.
