Building on the success of last year’s Zero Emissions Cruising Conference, we continue to build momentum around the decarbonisation of the cruise sector at a time when regulatory pressure, technological innovation, and investment decisions are rapidly reshaping the industry.
This year’s edition we come back to Bergen and will once again bring together key stakeholders from across the cruise value chain, including cruise operators, shipyards, technology providers, fuel suppliers, classification societies, machinery and equipment manufacturers, port authorities, digital solution providers, and sustainability experts.
The conference will focus on the most pressing challenges and opportunities facing the sector—from regulatory developments such as EU ETS and FuelEU Maritime, to the deployment of alternative fuels, energy efficiency solutions, and the role of ports in enabling shore power and green infrastructure. Particular attention will be given to the practical implementation of decarbonisation strategies and real-world case studies from across the industry.
Last year’s Zero Emissions Cruising Conference gathered leading cruising companies: Royal Caribbean, Carnival Maritime, Viking, Fred.
