Maritime Day Åland 2022
Finally, we are able to meet face-to-face and can look forward to participating in some interesting seminars and discussions. Alandia, DNV, and Wärtsilä invite you to an afternoon event which focuses on the theme ‘Greener future in a complex landscape’.
Right now, many actions are being taken toward sustainability and many innovative ideas are being spread throughout our industry with the aim of achieving zero emission goals. But what does this changing landscape require from shipping companies?
To answer that question, we have invited some industry experts to speak and discuss solutions, innovative ideas, and practical good-to-know information.
