Global launch event: Maritime Forecast to 2050
Register below to join us in-person, at SMM in Hamburg, or virtually via livestream for the report launch event on Tuesday, 1 September 2026.
The 10th edition of DNV’s Maritime Forecast to 2050 explores how shipping will navigate an increasingly complex and uncertain energy transition. While decarbonization is progressing, uncertainty around regulation and fuel markets is reshaping how the transition unfolds and at what pace.
Global alignment on regulation remains unresolved, with regional measures already driving near‑term decisions on fuel use, operations, and investment. At the same time, the report shows that energy efficiency remains the most immediate and commercially attractive lever, while the development of low‑GHG fuel markets will depend on stronger regulatory demand signals and cost reductions.
Tune in to the event where lead author Øyvind Sekkesæter will present the key findings of the Maritime Forecast to 2050, followed by a panel discussion featuring some of shipping’s leading voices, who will debate some of the key findings from the report and share their perspectives on the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
