Advanced Maritime Technology 2026 takes place from 16 to 18 June 2026 at Hall 8, RAI Amsterdam, Netherlands. Organised by UKi Media & Events, the event merges the former Electric & Hybrid Marine and Autonomous Ship events into a single, expanded platform covering the full spectrum of smart-ship innovation.
The Exhibition
The exhibition floor brings together suppliers, system integrators, technology developers and service providers working across electrification, automation, port infrastructure and maritime finance. The expo is structured around four core pillars that also inform the conference programme, providing continuity between the technical sessions and the technologies on display. Professionals can explore innovative solutions and connect with decision-makers from across the global maritime sector.
The Conference
The Advanced Maritime Technology conference features four dedicated, co-located streams, each addressing a distinct area of the maritime transition. The programme includes panel discussions and presentations designed to reflect current industry priorities, with an emphasis on practical, deployable solutions rather than long-term speculation.
Key Topics
The four conference streams cover the following areas:
Electrification and hybridisation: This stream examines next-generation propulsion technologies, including batteries, fuel cells, alternative fuels, onboard power distribution and hull and propulsion system design. It is aimed at shipyards, system integrators and technology suppliers.
Autonomy and automation: Focused on near-term digital transformation, this stream covers remote operation, shore control, AI-driven decision support, cybersecurity and data-led maintenance strategies. It is relevant to shipowners, operators, technology suppliers and research organisations.
Infrastructure: Addressing port-side and offshore charging, grid capacity planning, demand management and alternative-fuel bunkering networks, this stream is designed for port authorities, terminal operators, utilities and local government stakeholders.
Regulation, business and finance: This stream provides strategic guidance on IMO and regional regulations, liability, project finance, grants and long-term business risk. It targets C-suite leaders, shipowners, financiers, classification societies and regulators.
Who Attends
The event draws maritime professionals from across the industry, including shipowners, naval architects, port operators, technology suppliers, financiers and regulators. It serves as a meeting point for those driving fleet transformation, infrastructure development and regulatory compliance within the maritime sector.
