Maritime Technologies Forum highlights key activities in its 2024 Annual Report

TOKYO : The Maritime Technologies Forum (MTF) released its first annual report providing an easy-to-re-use overview of recent publications and events aimed at promoting the safe decarbonisation of the maritime industry.

Since its establishment in 2021, MTF members have collaborated to offer technical expertise, regulatory insight, and impartial advice to the maritime industry. MTF has steadily increased its activities, resulting in a growing number of publications, submissions, and events that present insights and explore their implications.

The Annual Report is available for download here.

“Our recent focus has been on operational safety management and the safety implications of emerging decarbonisation technologies,” says Lars Lippuner, Director of UK Customer Maritime Services at the Maritime and Coastguard Agency, and Chair of the MTF Executive Committee.

He continues that “as the pace of change accelerates, MTF will continue to offer guidance on safety management systems, technologies, and associated procedures that enable a safe and sustainable maritime transition, focusing on both decarbonisation and automation as key challenges facing the maritime industry.”
