Marine Energy Transition Forum 2025

15 September - 15 September

Norton Rose Fulbright, London, UK

The commercial imperative: making the business case for shipping’s decarbonisation

For the first time, METF joins London International Shipping Week (LISW25) in London, tackling the key challenge of shipping’s decarbonisation: turning early initiatives into viable commercial ventures. Industry experts will explore funding gaps, investment risks, and the hurdles in scaling up pilot projects. How can businesses thrive beyond subsidies? Join the discussion on the future of maritime energy transition!


Pilot projects, cross-sector collaborative agreements, joint ventures and company start-ups have been the starting point for many maritime businesses’ decarbonisation strategies

The Marine Energy Transition Forum will consider how the industry is faring in taking the next steps towards the commercialisation of early initiatives in shipping’s energy transition. What happens when subsidies and seed funding come to an end? How are companies being supported in taking their products and services to market? Are the ‘traditional’ providers of finance showing a sufficient appetite for investment risk when it comes to backing decarbonisation projects? Why are Final Investment Decisions so slow to come through, and why do so many initiatives stall at this point?

Featuring stakeholders from across the shipping and port sectors, METF 2025 will take a close look at how new and existing businesses can ‘survive and thrive’ in a competitive decarbonisation commercial environment.

Special Invite: All METF delegates are welcome to attend the invitation-only LISW25 Bunker Party.
