Held under the theme ‘Future Energy Sources Onboard Ships and Yachts’, the forum, supported by Oceanco, MB92 Group, ICON Yachts and Jutheau Husson, addressed international regulations, alternative fuels, energy efficiency, vessel conversion and emerging propulsion technologies. The discussions highlighted that the energy transition is not based on a single solution, but on a combination of technologies, operational choices and the ability to adapt existing vessels. The discussions also looked at a broad range of alternative energy sources and fuels, including HVO (hydrotreated vegetable oil), ammonia and hydrogen-derived fuels such as methanol, as well as hydrogen itself. Nuclear power was also discussed as a potential long-term option for certain types of maritime applications, highlighting the wide range of technologies being considered as the industry looks for alternatives to conventional fossil fuels.
