GET SET FOR WORKBOAT 2050 - IN CONVERSATION

Get Set for Workboat 20250: In Conversation brings the people behind the industry’s biggest decisions into a more relaxed environment.

Through informal chats with operators, innovators, vessel builders, technology providers, financiers, regulators and safety leaders, this strand of Get Set for Workboat 2050 explores the experiences, challenges and ideas shaping the future of commercial marine. This new format brings you casual, unscripted roundtable discussions tackling the raw realities of modern maritime operations.

What to expect:

  • Candid discussions with recognised industry figures and emerging voices.
  • Real examples from fleet operations, vessel projects and technology development.
  • Insight into the decisions behind decarbonisation, digitalisation, efficiency and safety.
  • A clearer understanding of different perspectives across the commercial marine supply chain.
  • Short, engaging sessions that keep the focus on the issues that matter.

From a vessel operator discussing the realities of adopting new propulsion technology to an investor explaining what makes a project viable, Get Set for Workboat 2050: In Conversation makes complex industry change more accessible and more relevant to day-to-day decision-making.


The insights shared through these sessions will feed into the wider Get Set for Workboat 2050 programme and help shape the live conversation at Seawork.
