The Global Maritime Forum is an independent not-for-profit organisation committed to shaping the future of global seaborne trade. We are a forum for companies that focus on tackling the most pressing and difficult challenges facing the entire maritime value chain, such as decarbonisation and seafarer fatigue.
The Global Maritime Forum is an independent not-for-profit organisation committed to shaping the future of global seaborne trade. We focus on decarbonising the maritime industry and making life at sea more inclusive and appealing to people of all backgrounds.
We have created a community united by purpose. We discuss collective challenges – those that are too complex for any one stakeholder to solve – and work together to develop new solutions and recommendations for action. We do this by bringing together forward-thinking leaders and experts who, through dialogue, collaboration, and collective action, strive to increase sustainable long-term economic development and human well-being.
The maritime sector plays a crucial role in the global economy, and we believe it can be a catalyst for positive change. We strive to facilitate connections, spark ideas, and support concrete solutions that will help the international community reach its shared climate goals while promoting human welfare and dignity.
Our flagship event, the Annual Summit, is the global nexus for co-creating the ideas and actions that will propel the industry towards a better future. Convening key decision-makers from around the world in a different maritime capital each year, the Annual Summit has been the launchpad for several highly regarded initiatives, including the Getting to Zero Coalition, the All Aboard Alliance, and the Poseidon Principles.
Our other initiatives include the Sea Cargo Charter, the Neptune Declaration and other efforts aimed at improving operational efficiency and mobilising the next generation of maritime leaders.
Since our inception in 2017, we have worked closely with our partners and the wider maritime community to develop and distribute research and insights, launched innovative projects, and hosted workshops that drive conversations and encourage collaboration, among a range of other activities.
The Global Maritime Forum is funded through a combination of grants and partner contributions. We operate independently of any outside influence and do not support individual technologies or companies.
Headquartered in Copenhagen, we are a dedicated team of around 45 staff members representing more than 15 different nationalities.
Several initiatives and outcomes have been born from the Global Maritime Forum Annual Summit - the global nexus for co-creating the ideas and actions that will propel the industry towards a better future.
We collaborate with stakeholders from across the maritime value chain and beyond who share our ambition to drive change. With our valued partners at the core, we have created a community that is united by purpose and committed to sustainable long-term economic development and human well-being.
