Efficient Network at Mare Forum: Charting the Future of Maritime Transport
At the 7th Mare Forum in Geneva, Efficient Network stood alongside the maritime sector's decision-makers to confront the defining question of the decade: how to decarbonise an industry that moves the world.
Efficient Network Consultants took an active role in the 7th Mare Forum, held in Geneva on 19 March 2024. The gathering brought together leaders from across the maritime sector to address the most pressing issues facing the industry, from the energy transition to industry growth and the latest innovations in shipping and international trade.
A forum focused on the energy transition
The forum spotlighted the need for proactive strategies to comply with new international regulations, while underscoring the essential role of digitalisation in reaching goals that are both sustainable and economically viable. These two threads, regulatory readiness and digital capability, framed much of the day's discussion.
Efficient Network's presence reinforced its standing as an expert adviser to maritime players grappling with the challenge of decarbonising the sector. The firm's perspective resonated with operators weighing how to balance compliance, cost, and the long horizon of fleet renewal.
An industry in rapid transformation
Efficient Network's contribution proved all the more relevant against the backdrop of an industry undergoing significant transformation. As the figures shared at the forum made clear, the shift toward cleaner shipping is no longer aspirational but already underway.
Orders for vessels powered by alternative fuels surged by 50% in 2024, reaching 600 new units, in a bid to accelerate the transition toward cleaner transport.
Drawing on its expertise in energy-transition strategy, Efficient Network established itself as a credible and indispensable interlocutor throughout the forum's exchanges, helping participants translate ambitious targets into actionable plans.
