Green Economy biofuel: 18-19 March in Amsterdam

European Conference
Green Marine Transport 2026
18-19 March in Amsterdam, Netherlands

Van der Valk Hotel Amsterdam - Amstel

The European Conference Green Marine Transport 2026 will take place on 18-19th of March in Amsterdam, bringing together key decision-makers and innovators from across the maritime industry. Over two days, the conference will unite shipping companies, port authorities, policy makers, leading suppliers, and technology providers to explore the latest developments, challenges, and opportunities in sustainable shipping.
The push towards green marine transport is accelerating across Europe. From LNG, hydrogen, and advanced biofuels to cutting-edge vessel designs and propulsion systems, the industry is embracing technologies that reduce environmental impact without compromising performance. The rapid emergence of electric and hybrid vessels is already reshaping short-sea and inland shipping, opening new possibilities for low- and zero-emission operations.

Amsterdam, with its strong maritime heritage and commitment to sustainability, provides the perfect backdrop for discussing these transformations. The 2026 edition will feature expert-led panel, in-depth technical sessions, and networking opportunities designed to foster collaboration between industry, academia, and policymakers.

By accelerating the shift towards cleaner operations, green marine transport not only helps protect our oceans and air quality but also enhances the global competitiveness of European shipping. As environmental responsibility becomes a defining factor for business success, this event will be a platform to share strategies, showcase innovations, and build partnerships that will shape the future of maritime transport.
