Danish venue change for 42nd Motorship Propulsion and Future Fuels conference
The decision to change venues to Denmark has been taken “with the full support of our speakers, sponsors and delegates”, and ensures an event based on in-person attendance could be held, Marianne Rasmussen-Coulling, Events Director of Mercator Media Ltd explained.
The choice of Denmark’s capital as a venue reflects the strength of the maritime sector there, as well as the country’s emerging position as a hub for maritime cleantech, Rasmussen-Coulling added.
It is also conveniently located for travel from neighbouring Nordic and northern European markets, where ship owners and operators have taken a particular interest in decarbonisation and alternative fuels.
