Ports & Vessels 2025

Charting the future

With new offshore wind projects required to meet the 2030 Clean Power Goal, and the anticipated growth in floating offshore wind, industry needs to make sure it has the tools to deliver. Ports and vessels are crucial to the industry's success.

Bringing together the maritime and renewables sectors, this one-day conference will facilitate collaboration, promote high-level networking, and catalyse discussions on unlocking the full potential of offshore wind.

Why attend?

Kicking off the new year, Ports & Vessels 2025 will be attended by developers, port and vessel operators, supply chain companies, academics, government officials and those with an interest in offshore renewables and maritime industries. Meet the right people, expand your network, and explore key topics as such as: 

    • Decarbonisation of maritime activity
    • New technologies, efficiency and innovation in vessels and port infrastructure
    • Supply chain visibility: finding clear pathways for growth and certainty
    • The contract and alliancing landscape: how to manage risks associated with vessel and port contracting
    • Collaboration agreements: learning lessons from regional partnerships
    • The maturation of floating offshore wind: what do new projects mean for port and vessel decision-making?
