The WMU Maritime Affairs Conference 2025 a continuation of the successful WMU Maritime Week 2024, serves as a vital platform for open dialogue, mutual understanding, and collaboration among experts from industry, academia, and policymaking communities, with a particular focus on the intersection of technology, regulation, and policy to generate practical and academic outcomes that support a more sustainable and innovative maritime future.

The maritime industry is undergoing a profound transformation, driven by digitalization, decarbonization, and the growing imperative for sustainability.
As technologies advance and global regulations continue to evolve, there is an increasing need for a dedicated platform where maritime stakeholders can exchange insights, align perspectives, and forge consensus on critical issues.

The Conference aims to serve as a platform to advance discussions on digital transformation and decarbonization in the maritime sector, promote collaboration across academia, industry, and policy, generate practical and academic insights for the global maritime community, and support capacity building in line with key UN Sustainable Development Goals.
