The Maritime Standard announces that the Ship Finance and Trade Conference 2025 will take place on Tuesday, 18th February 2025, at the Taj Exotica Resort, The Palm, Dubai. This prestigious event will gather global leaders, financial experts, and key stakeholders from the maritime industry to discuss innovative financial strategies and sustainable solutions that will shape the future of ship finance and trade.
The theme for the 2025 edition, “Financing Green Shipping Solutions,” reflects the growing emphasis on sustainability and innovation in the maritime sector. With the industry navigating decarbonization challenges, evolving regulations, and complex market dynamics, the conference will provide a platform to address these critical issues through thought-provoking discussions and actionable insights.

The Ship Finance and Trade Conference 2025 is a unique opportunity for industry leaders to forge innovative financial pathways, driving the transition to greener shipping and securing a resilient future for global trade.”
The program will feature two high-impact sessions covering a wide array of topics.
