Key speakers at the conference, including Sharanya Kumaramurthy, market intelligence manager at the Energy Industries Council, will delve into how the global drive towards decarbonisation is spurring substantial investment in the ocean and renewable energy sectors.

AXL said that the increasing prevalence of offshore wind projects, hydrogen initiatives and carbon capture technologies is adding complexity to the market while simultaneously presenting significant opportunities. Concurrently, the project logistics sector faces scrutiny and challenges in adopting sustainable fuels and energy sources.

Peter Molloy, senior analyst – multipurpose shipping (associate) at Drewry Maritime Research, will be among the speakers addressing the slow adoption of technologies such as AI and blockchain due to the industry’s complexity and diverse operations. Moreover, insights into the current state of multipurpose shipping sector will be addressed by expert Susan Oatway, senior research analyst with the Journal of Commerce at S&P Global.
