As the maritime sector accelerates toward zero-carbon operations, ammonia is emerging as one of the most promising future fuels. Yet important questions remain: How close are we to safe, scalable adoption—and what must shipowners, operators, ports, and crews prepare for?

Join us for a focused event exploring elements of ammonia’s as a marine fuel from multiple practical angles. Learn directly from experts with decades of experience handling ammonia cargo, leading engine developers involved in commercial ammonia engine designs, classification societies driving new standards, and specialists shaping future crew training and regulatory frameworks.
