Green Shipping Day
Connect. Innovate. Progress.
Heading to the Port of Nice!
In 2026, Green Marine Europe’s annual event enters a new phase with a new name: Green Shipping Day, now a key European meeting point for the environmental transition of maritime transport.
A full day bringing together maritime leaders, shipowners, ports, shipyards, public decision-makers, researchers and financial actors to exchange on the sector’s transition.
This edition also introduces a new format: alongside the plenary conference, two workshops on ports and biodiversity, designed to enhance interaction and foster more operational discussions among participants.
The day will conclude with a walking diner, offering a privileged moment for networking and informal exchanges.
