Ticket sales are officially open for Digital Ship Media’s Vessel Performance Summit 2027, bringing together senior leaders from across the maritime industry to tackle some of the most pressing challenges facing vessel operations today.

As regulatory pressures intensify, fuel strategies evolve and the demand for measurable operational improvements grows, the Summit will explore how shipowners and operators are responding — and where the industry goes next.

We're delighted to announce that representatives from the following organisations are confirmed to join our speaker programme:

Wah Kwong Maritime Transport | Hapag-Lloyd | OSM Thome | NYK Group Europe | A.P. Moller-Maersk | Universal Africa Lines | Stena Line | Heidelberg Materials Trading | Bernhard Schulte Shipmanagement | DS NORDEN | AD Ports Group with more to be confirmed soon.

Bringing together perspectives from across the shipping industry, our speakers will share practical experience, challenge established thinking and explore the decisions shaping the future of fleet performance.

Three themes. One industry conversation.

Our 2027 programme will focus on three interconnected areas shaping the future of maritime operations.

Voyage Performance and Carbon Economics

Exploring how shipowners and operators can improve fleet efficiency, manage the growing cost of carbon and translate vessel performance insights into measurable commercial and environmental outcomes.

Vessel Performance: Retrofits, Alternative Fuels & Investment Priorities

Examining the commercial and operational realities of alternative fuels, vessel retrofits and efficiency technologies as shipping navigates an increasingly complex decarbonisation landscape.

Discussing the role of leadership, training, organisational culture and crew capability in delivering safer, more efficient and sustainable vessel operations.
