ARACON 2026

22 October - 23 October

Hilton Rotterdam Hotel

Annual review: does the bunker industry need to do business better – or differently?

ARACON 26 will once again bring together senior executives, technical experts, policymakers and innovators to discuss the ‘state of play’ for the global marine fuels sector – and with a close focus on the challenges and issues impacting the world second largest bunker market, the (Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp) region.

#ARACON26

ARACON 2026


2025 was a tough year for the bunker sector but 2026 has already brought a new set of complicated problems to the table. As always, ARACON will provide sharp insights on regulation, fuel quality, technology, AI and commercial practices, and this year it will ask if the industry needs to undertake a ‘root and branch’ evaluation of its business model and structures in order to adapt to a world where geopolitical, energy supply and trade uncertainties are increasingly the norm – and energy transition pathways are perhaps becoming more difficult to follow.

ARACON serves as a strategic platform for the global bunker and shipping community to engage in high-level discussions on evolving market dynamics, regulatory reforms, technological innovation and risk management.

The conference combines expert keynotes, interactive panel sessions, case studies and networking opportunities, alongside an exhibition space showcasing solutions and services supporting the sector’s transition.
