Green Shipping Day
Connect. Innovate. Progress.
See you in 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 take place at the Hôtel Aston La Scala, in the heart of Nice, offering a central setting for discussions, networking and exchanges throughout the day.
The event will conclude with a walking dinner, offering a privileged moment for networking and informal exchanges.
