Shaping the Future of Shipping

Delivering a Net Zero World

Shaping the Future of Shipping: Delivering a Net Zero World, The Summit and Gala Dinner, convened leaders across the maritime and energy value chain with government representatives, regulators and policymakers for the flagship maritime event during COP28 in Dubai.

Curated & Executed by Osmium Marketing & Events and organised by a coalition of leading maritime industry bodies, coordinated by the International Chamber of Shipping (ICS) in partnership with the Emirates Shipping Association, the annual Shaping the Future of Shipping Summit was hosted under the patronage of the United Arab Emirates Ministry for Energy and Infrastructure on 10 December at the Museum of the Future.

The Summit provided a platform for governments and leaders in energy, maritime, and all parts of the value chain, to discuss practical solutions for infrastructure, fuel availability, and financing, and how to prepare the maritime workforce to accelerate the transition to a low and zero carbon emission economy, to deliver a sustainable and equitable future for all.

The Museum of the Future was a fitting venue for such an important event. The vision encapsulated in this stunning building dedicated to showcasing a positive future for the world ensured that leaders will be focused on delivering solutions and opportunity.

The Shaping the Future Summit presented a key opportunity for industry leaders to meet and discuss with government representatives, regulators and policymakers at the negotiations, and to seek the high-level political support needed to ensure progress of the industry’s decarbonisation activities. The Summit was organised in partnership with the Emirates Shipping Association.
