SUMMARY:Fourth North Sea Ports and Maritime Conference
DESCRIPTION:We’re pleased to announce that Madadh MacLaine\, Secretary General of ZESTAs\, and Jogchum Bruinsma\, Chair of ZESTAs\, will be speaking at the Fourth North Sea Ports and Maritime Conference on 27 February 2025 in Brussels. \nThis One Day Conference is to be held in Brussels in February. It will examine the development of the North Sea’s role as a Hydrogen Corridor and the key role that the North Sea ports and maritime sector will play in its development.  The Conference will hear from senior European Commission officials\, ports\, the hydrogen supply chain and the maritime sector. \n🔹 Madadh MacLaine will speak on “Deploying a Green Hydrogen-Based Absolute Zero Emissions Ecosystem in the North Sea and Baltic Regions”\, outlining how zero-emission shipping solutions can be implemented at scale.\n🔹 Jogchum Bruinsma will present on the role of fuel cells in short sea shipping\, exploring how hydrogen fuel cells can support clean maritime transport. \nThe North Sea Region is already a major producer of hydrogen and there are ambitious plans to increase green hydrogen production\, develop import and export routes in the North Sea and receive hydrogen imports from across the World.  The European Commission envisages the North Sea as a major import corridor and the International Energy Agency has said the Region “leads the development of low-emission hydrogen as a new energy carrier. This region accounts for around half of Europe’s total hydrogen demand and has a vast and untapped renewable energy potential in the North Sea. \n

SUMMARY:ShipZERO30 LISW – HyWindships
DESCRIPTION:How to Achieve Absolute Zero Emissions in Trans-Oceanic Shipping\n\n\n\n\n\nZESTAs ShipZERO30 workshop\, “HyWindships” brings together shipowners\, hydrogen producers\, wind propulsion experts\, cargo owners\, investors\, technology developers\, and policymakers committed to achieving Absolute Zero Emissions to discover how collectively we can achieve absolute zero emissions by working together across the full supply chain. “Wind and Wave to Wake”. \n\n\n\n\n\nCollaboratively\, we will explore how together\, we can make this work energetically\, and therefore economically. The key being efficiencies: efficiency in vessel design\, efficiency in onboard energy system designs\, but also efficiencies in the global energy system\, from the capture of renewable energy all the way through the supply chain to its use on the vessel. “Wind and Wave to Wake”! \nA “HyWindship” is an electric vessel that uses wind\, combined with energy stored in batteries and hydrogen\, for propulsion. It relies solely on electric propulsion to reach favourable winds when there is too little wind or none in the right direction\, and also in port\, for both manoeuvring and alongside. These vessels are also capable of topping up their energy storage systems when wind is abundant\, further reducing onboard energy storage needs. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe seminar will feature:\n\nCase studies from shipowners operating absolute zeroe vessels\nInsights from hydrogen producers scaling supply chains\nTechnology demonstrations in wind propulsion and hydrogen systems\nAnalysis of energy system efficiency and electrification\nAn international helicopter view of RE and green hydrogen supply chains\nCollaborative sessions with ecosystem stakeholders\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhy this matters\nThe solutions are real. The systems are proven. Absolute Zero is not a future goal—it’s happening now. Join us at the heart of maritime policymaking to explore what’s possible and what’s already underway. \nNetworking\nRefuel and connect during breakfast\, lunch\, and snack breaks. \nReception\nCelebrate our progress with drinks and nibbles on the IMO Terrace overlooking Westminster and the London Skyline! \n\n\n\n\n\nZESTAs members receive 20% off \nBeyond compliance! Do you have what it takes? Are you ready to be part of creating a healthy planet? Join the innovators who are making this happen now! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhy at the IMO?\nThe IMO is where international maritime policy is forged.\nDuring LISW\, it becomes the focal point of global attention. \nBy bringing absolute zero solutions directly to this forum\, we make the case for immediate action—with evidence. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n🔒 Invitation-only event\n\n📩 Register your interest now\n–– View agenda ––

SUMMARY:Hyvolution 26 – Paris – Hydrogen and shipping: viability matters
DESCRIPTION:On 27 January\, ZESTAs Secretary-General Madadh MacLaine will join the Hyvolution Paris 2026 mainstage round table:\n“H2 for Shipping: the Rise of e-Methanol\, Ammonia\, and LH2” \nMadadh MacLaine brings insights on the viability of liquid hydrogen as a maritime fuel in the context of Absolute Zero Emissions shipping — a distinct position within a discussion spanning multiple fuel pathways. \nThe panel brings together perspectives from across shipbuilding\, energy systems\, and policy: \nMadadh MacLaine – Secretary-General\, Zero Emissions Ship Technology Association (ZESTAs) \nPaolo Guglia – Innovation and Policy Manager\, FINCANTIERI S.p.A. \nThomas Bjørdal – CEO\, @RENERGY – Renewable Energy Cluster \nTaku Hasegawa – Senior Manager\, Kawasaki Gas Turbine Europe \nFelicia Mester – Managing Director Europe & IMO\, Methanol Institute \nSébastien Zimmer – Partner\, Energy\, Utilities & Environment BU\, Sia Partners \nThis session addresses a central question for shipping: what separates pilot projects from operational deployment.\nFuel choice alone does not resolve this. Deployment depends on aligned vessel design\, bunkering infrastructure\, safety frameworks\, crew training\, and regulation. \nSecretary-General Madadh MacLaine will give updates on the IMO’s progress on hydrogen fuel guidelines\, hydrogen fuel cell guidelines\, and hydrogen crew training\, as well as the latest news on liquid hydrogen bunkering and vessels. \nShipping deploys systems\, not fuels in isolation.\nZESTAs brings those systems into focus\, clarifying what enables Absolute Zero emissions shipping in practice. \n📍 Paris\n🗓 27 January 2026 | ⏰ 16:00–16:45 \n
