We are pleased to welcome the international maritime community to
the WMU Maritime Affairs Conference 2025 that will take place at
the World Maritime University from 26 to 28 August.
This year’s theme, Transforming a Maritime Future: Digitalization
and Decarbonization, reflects two of the most urgent and
transformative forces shaping the maritime industry.
The conference will bring together global experts, thought leaders,
and practitioners to explore innovative, research-driven, and
collaborative solutions to today’s complex maritime challenges.

Engaging and thought-provoking discussions will highlight the power of collaboration and the need for forward-thinking strategies.
Among our distinguished speakers are leaders from across the maritime sector—representing diverse organizations and areas of
expertise—who are navigating the challenges and opportunities of a rapidly changing industry.
The WMU global network remains at the heart of our mission to build a safe, sustainable, and future-ready maritime sector.
Through the connections and knowledge-sharing fostered during the WMU Maritime Affairs Conference 2025,
we aim to strengthen the foundations for a resilient and innovative maritime future.
On behalf of the World Maritime University, we extend our sincere thanks to all co-organizers and sponsors, and welcome all
speakers and participants to share their invaluable contributions to this inspiring exchange of ideas.
