REDUCING FUEL INVESTMENT RISK -
REGULATION, SUPPLY AND VIABILITY

As we await the outcome of the MEPC 85 resumed meeting, in December, the industry holds on, to understand what a global fuel framework could look like. Uncertainty has been the key word of the past few years, and this is being felt even more so with not only regulatory uncertainty, but fuel security uncertainty.

Amongst this uncertainty, the industry continues to move, and must find a solution to minimise investment risk, and ensure the full fuel value chain can coordinate future pathways. In 2027, there may be no more waiting, and shipowners, suppliers, fuel technology engineers face the same challenge: turning regulatory ambition into practical, investable action, while navigating a growing mix of global, regional and national rules such as FuelEU Maritime and the EU ETS.

We are bringing back the Global Maritime Decarbonisation Summit to do exactly this – ensure this across the value chain collaboratively not only understand the regulation, but can establish a pathway that gains the best commercial benefit; establish how most-viable fuel pathways like LNG continue to be competitive, and have the infrastructure to support; and how do we need to look to technology developments, to allow us to comply.

JOIN THE GLOBAL MARITIME DECARBONISATION SUMMIT TO:

Understand how the MEPC outcome will impact shipowner fuel strategies, LNG, and future fuels, by examining the Net-Zero Framework post-April and using 2025 to set conditions for a clear October decision.

Inform decisions on future fuel pathway investments and costs, by hearing from suppliers on their plans for future biofuel and clean fuel availability and production developments.

Collaborate with those across the value chain to suggest solutions for the lack of global certification standards, to increase the viability of low-carbon fuels available across the globe.

Learn what developments are being made in the Ammonia and Methanol space, to strengthen the safety and operation of these less mature fuels, and understand how maritime fuel supply is impacted by increasing fuel demand in other industries.

Create more certainty in the future by connecting with those throughout the value chain, to understand how their risks are managed with offtake agreements, and allow for better contracting for the development of low-carbon fuels.

Make sure to register before Friday, 18th December 2026

Well, the most important commodity we all have in our lives is time. It's, it's a precious investment to go to events like this and invest your time. But the, the return on that investment is huge. I get a lot of out of it every year and that it's all about return of investment. You will get the latest information, you will meet a good cross section of people from the entire supply chain across the industry, across all the alternative fuels.

UK Transport in Europe

CEO

We have first-hand seen this event evolve from a smaller gathering to the must-attend event of the year, right here in our Amsterdam backyard. We have participated for years and are a proud contributor to this event's content.

Titan

Commercial Director

It’s a valuable opportunity to bring together industry professionals, regulators, fuel suppliers, and shipowners to exchange ideas and share practical experiences across LNG and emerging low- and zero-carbon fuels. Events like this help the industry align on challenges, opportunities, and best practices, and can accelerate the practical adoption of decarbonisation measures.

IBIA

Executive Director

We need to share lessons learned and join forces when it comes to the development of new fuels, new technologies and establishing that new fuel infrastructure. This is a joint effort of the industry, and platforms like the Global Maritime Decarbonisation Summit are must-attend events to discuss with our industry peers on these challenges. Only by working together will we reach our goals, and nothing beats a proper faceto-face opportunity to do that.

SGMF

Manager, Membership & Communications

: Lovely to be back here again because it's very energizing. You meet the right set of people that would really help to propagate the mission of decarbonization. So it's fantastic.

Fact Sheet | Navigating the 2026 Transition: What the IMO Delay Means for Your Decarbonisation Strategy

With final decisions on the IMO Net-Zero Framework now pushed into 2026, maritime leaders are being forced to make fuel, fleet, and investment decisions without global regulatory certainty. Regional rules continue to tighten, compliance costs are rising, and the risk of stranded assets is growing.

This fact sheet provides a clear, practical guide to what the IMO delay really means, and how shipowners, ports, fuel suppliers, and financiers should respond now, not later.
