June 3rd 2025: Nor-Shipping Pre-BBQ seminar: Green Commercial and Naval Ships?

Can green experiences in commercial shipping be elevated to contemporary, green naval shipping – without losing defense capabilities?

In parallel with the need for green transition, the escalated geopolitical situation and the war in Ukraine have led to NATO countries increasingly investing in defense capabilities and preparedness. This provides good opportunities for civil and defense industry in maritime nations to develop and demonstrate leadership in terms of efficient and green ships, which also provides excellent maritime defense capabilities.

Target participants

Navies and coast guards, civilian companies providing services to such operators, shipping companies, yards, public and private cargo owners, international and national defense organizations, suppliers, ports, the financial industry, public agencies, politicians and the press are welcomed.

On this actual evening, the Nor-Shipping BBQ will take place outdoors at the same location. Participating in this pre-seminar (free of charge) does NOT give access to the BBQ.

What you can expect

This event will give you an introduction to the pilots and public-private partnerships in the Green Shipping Programme, where you will meet the green trend setters. Through a panel discussion, top leaders from the industry and naval defense will discuss whether it is realistic with green naval ships.
