Building on the enormous success of 2026, MWAF27 will bring over 150 delegates from Africa, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia to make important new connections while discussing the key issues affecting shipping and bunkering both in Africa and further afield.
MWAF27 will bring together shipowners, bunker suppliers, fuel traders, ports, refiners, regulators, and technology providers for a focused examination of the commercial, operational, and regulatory issues shaping Africa’s marine fuel markets.
The packed conference programme will focus on traditional bunkering in Africa and the Indian Ocean, the latest developments in the maritime energy transition, and the market uncertainty caused by continuing geopolitical tensions impacting global shipping and energy markets. As always, the conference will feature innovative technologies and regulations, together with the latest market developments across Africa, offering a forensic look at the fiscal, legal, and operational challenges impacting bunker markets throughout the continent.
In addition to the flagship conference, Maritime Week Africa 2027 will include:
- A specialist training course
- Two networking lunches
- Two evening receptions
- And a spectacular waterborne tour of the Port of Cape Town.
MWAF27 promises not only a content-rich programme but also unforgettable networking experiences set against one of the world’s most spectacular backdrops.
