15 January 2025 - Set sail sustainably & innovatively in 2025! Stade
The topic of sustainability affects the entire maritime industry and is extremely multifaceted. The regulations to be observed in the area of climate protection and environmental protection are once again becoming stricter for shipping companies in the Lower Elbe region and throughout northern Germany.
Ships over 5000 GT will be subject to the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) from 2024. At EU level, measures such as the new regulations of the FuelEU Maritime Regulation, which are intended to incentivise the use of alternative climate-friendly fuels, must be taken into account. The measures to implement the IMO strategies for the gradual defossilisation of shipping will also be noticeable.

05 February 2025 - 5th Cross-Cluster Conference Hydrogen, Hamburg
The maritime industry is at the centre of global efforts to decarbonise. Hamburg has set itself ambitious climate targets and is actively driving the development of a regional hydrogen economy. Alternative hydrogen-based fuels such as methanol and ammonia play a key role on the road to emission-free shipping.
But how can we ensure that these fuels are available in the right quantity and quality? What are the procurement challenges and what will the maritime supply chain of the future look like? These and other questions are at the centre of our 5th Cross-Cluster Conference Hydrogen.
17 February 2025 - 27th Kiel Marketplace: Coastal protection of the future, Kiel
The storm surge of the century in October 2023 caused enormous damage to the Baltic Sea coast and its residents. Dykes broke, 5,600 hectares of land and several towns were flooded. The damage has now largely been repaired, but is that enough?
Due to climate change, extreme events such as storm surges are becoming more frequent, which is why previous protection concepts need to be reconsidered. In addition to raising dykes, their relocation is also being discussed in order to achieve greater safety for Schleswig-Holstein's coasts and their residents through natural coastal protection.
