FORUMS

“NAVIGATOR – The Shipping Decision Makers Forum”, is being held on an annual basis since 2001 and constitutes a great “think tank” opportunity among the Greek and International Shipping community.

The Forum was an initiative of NAVIGATOR’s team, aiming at bringing together the leading experts of the worldwide maritime cluster, to discuss and analyze the crucial matters of the Shipping Industry and achieve an up to date brainstorming which not only raises awareness but also brings solutions.

We are very proud to know that our Forum has been the starting point of long term synergies between participating Companies.

Throughout the years, the event has been attended by more than 10,000 prominent personalities of the Greek and International shipping community from more than 50 countries and has become one of the most traditional get together events of the shipping community.

TESTIMONIALS

Taking part in the forum presented a rare opportunity to discuss in considerable depth the challenges that the global shipping community faces in relation to decarbonisation, with numerous representatives of key stakeholders from a variety of backgrounds and disciplines. This only confirmed the multitude of factors and angles that are relevant when it comes to tackling decarbonisation and the united front that shipping urgently needs to demonstrate in dealing with the regulators and all those with the necessary political power to have an impact on the global efforts towards decarbonisation

As a sponsor but also a participant in the round table discussion on decarbonization in the marine industry, I found the exchange of ideas and perspectives incredibly enlightening. It's evident that there is a collective commitment towards sustainable solutions to mitigate carbon emissions in the maritime sector. I commend the organizers for facilitating such a crucial dialogue and look forward to seeing tangible actions emerge from our discussions to drive positive change in the industry.
