Maritime CleanTech is going ‘all in’ at Nor-Shipping 2025, seizing the opportunity of a unique global gathering to support and enable those pioneering sustainable ocean development. Here CEO Ada Jakobsen outlines the organisation’s initiatives, objectives and ambitions, explaining why NOW is the time to accelerate progress.
Nor-Shipping has long been a flagship arena for ocean innovation, so for Maritime CleanTech, it’s the perfect stage to showcase the groundbreaking efforts of our 150 partners and unique ‘full spectrum’ cluster. As we prepare for the 2025 event in June, our focus is clear: collaboration, innovation, and action. We are committed to ensuring that our industry does more than just talk about the green transition—we drive it forward.
Nor-Shipping provides an invaluable platform to connect stakeholders, amplify the voices of our members, and highlight the pioneering work that is shaping the future of global shipping. It is a place where ideas turn into action, and discussions lead to partnerships. That’s why, this June, our presence will be stronger than ever.
Spotlight on innovation
As ever, our main focus will be showcasing our partners and their bold efforts to enable a greener future for the industry – whether it’s advancements in sustainable fuels, smarter operations with digital solutions, wind-assisted propulsion or other innovations. That’s why we are proud to join Nor-Shipping as a Blue Talks partner, where we will put our partners in the spotlight and give them a unique platform to connect with a global audience.
In addition to participating in the official Blue Talks programme, we will also curate an exclusive programme of our own on the Blue Talks stage, ensuring a lively mix of presentations and discussions highlighting cutting-edge green solutions.
Our community stand, located right next to the Blue Talks stage, will serve as an extension of the stage area — offering additional space for networking, in-depth discussions, and exploring potential collaborations for future green innovations with interested stakeholders.
Critical role
Additionally, we are honoured to co-host two of the official Nor-Shipping conferences—the Offshore Wind Conference and the Hydrogen Conference. These are two hugely important sectors that are key to underpinning the maritime and energy transitions, and both forums will offer critical discussions on advancing green maritime solutions.

Our goal is to ensure that these conversations lead to real-world impact, highlighting groundbreaking projects like Apollo, developing ammonia-powered engines, and Ship-aH2oy, making scalable fuel cell technology a reality. Our partners have the vision and expertise to transform challenges into opportunities
Future-proofing progress
The theme of Nor-Shipping 2025, #future-proof, aligns seamlessly with our own mission. Future-proofing the maritime industry is about more than resilience—it is about proactive transformation. Green shipping is the only way forward, and the solutions our partners are developing are not just theoretical; they are already making waves.
Over the past decade, we have witnessed a massive shift in Norway’s maritime landscape. From the rapid deployment of electric passenger vessels to the launch of the first hydrogen-powered ships, our partners have shown that innovation leads to real progress. Now, they are accelerating the deployment of clean fuels, energy efficiency solutions, and digital technologies that will make maritime operations more sustainable and competitive on a global scale.

Through initiatives like Green AI for Sustainable Shipping (GASS) and STEESMAT, we are actively working on digital solutions that optimize fuel consumption and energy efficiency. Meanwhile, projects such as Ocean Charger—a collaborative effort with key industry players—are pioneering offshore electric charging infrastructure, providing a critical link in the transition to emission-free shipping.
Strengthening collaboration
The maritime industry is at a crossroads, and global uncertainties demand that we double down on our commitment to sustainability. Political and economic shifts may introduce challenges, but they are transient. The need for cleaner maritime solutions is enduring.
This is why Maritime CleanTech remains steadfast in its mission to unite the industry, advocate for progressive policies, and champion the adoption of green technologies.
As an industry cluster, our strength lies in collaboration. No single entity can drive the transition alone, but by bringing together shipowners, technology providers, policymakers, and financial stakeholders, we can accelerate the shift to a greener, more resilient industry. Nor-Shipping is the ideal setting to forge these partnerships and ensure that sustainable solutions receive the visibility and support they need to scale up.
Call to action
Our message for Nor-Shipping 2025 is clear—there is no future-proof shipping industry without green solutions. Tackling climate change is not just a challenge for shipping; it is a challenge for society as a whole. The time to act is now.
Through our presence at Nor-Shipping, we aim to not only showcase the groundbreaking work of our partners but also inspire meaningful dialogue and action across the industry. Whether it is through the Blue Talks, the Hydrogen and Offshore Wind Conferences, or direct engagement at our community stand, we invite stakeholders to join us in shaping a sustainable future for global shipping.
The road to a zero-emission maritime sector may be challenging, but with the right collaborations and a shared commitment to progress, we can and will make it a reality.
