Middle East Bunkering Convention (MEBC26) returns to Dubai

Now in its 11th year, MEBC26 continues to serve as a high-level forum for informed, independent discussion across the bunker value chain.

Speakers at this year’s conference will consider how traders, physical suppliers and ship owners and operators are faring in a business climate where geo-political and economic uncertainty is currently ‘the norm’. The changing dynamic of the Middle East bunker sector, with players entering and exiting the market, will also be front and centre in MEBC discussions in 2026.

‘Doing business better’ will also be a key theme at MEBC26, with discussions centred on digitalisation, transparency, efficiency, counterparty credit, effective risk management and the timing of alternative fuel strategies.

Who should attend
MEBC26 convenes shipowners and operators, fuel buyers and traders, physical suppliers, ports, storage and logistics providers, solution vendors, financiers, insurers, standards bodies, and regulators active in the Middle East and beyond.
