Seminar Topics:
*The potential of retrofit
*Learn how Energy Saving Devices (ESDs) can improve performance when retrofitting your vessel.
*Embracing wind propulsion
*Explore the advantages of integrated hull optimization and validation.
*Impact of alternative fuels
*Understand realistic decarbonisation pathways at both vessel and fleet level.
*How to sail with wind propulsion?
*Train your captain before installing Wind‑Assisted Propulsion Systems (WAPS).
*Operational data analysis
*Discover how to benefit from operational data to improve decision‑making.
*Performance at sea
*Optimise your operations with performance verification.

Event name: Confidence Is Not Intelligence. Why Shipping Still Destroys Value Despite “Correct” Decisions
Event Host: HHx blue
Date and time: Thursday, 4 June 2026 from 10:45–12:30
Location: Seminar Room 2a, Athens Metropolitan Expo
a senior industry panel will address a critical but underexplored issue in shipping: why technically correct, data-driven decisions still lead to value destruction. Despite better data, stronger regulation and increasing digital capabilities, the industry continues to lose value—not because decisions are wrong, but because they are poorly timed, misaligned or not structured for capital. As EU-ETS turns operational choices into direct financial exposure, fuel and technology decisions become increasingly irreversible, and capital becomes more selective, the cost of getting decisions “almost right” is rising materially. The result is a widening gap between technical correctness and financial outcomes.
This discussion deliberately moves beyond the usual narratives of digitalisation and compliance. Instead, it focuses on what is often missing: how decisions are structured, timed and translated into financially credible outcomes. Bringing together commercial, digital, energy transition and financial perspectives, the panel explores why better data and better tools still fail to produce better results—and what this costs in practice.
Confirmed speakers: Ernst Meyer (CEO, Torvald Klaveness), Johannes Volle (CFO, Ulstein Group;
Chair, Ulstein Digital), Gavin Allwright (Secretary General, IWSA), Orestis Schinas and Olaf Danckwerts
(HHX.blue), and Nijoe Joseph (Montjais Partners, TBC).
Core themes:
• “Shipping does not lack data—it lacks structured decisions.”
• “Many of the most expensive mistakes in shipping are not wrong decisions—they are confident ones.”

Event Name: AiP handover ceremony for Pelican Suite™ software
Event Host: RINA
Date and time: Thursday, 4th June from 15:00 to 15:30
Location: RINA Booth 3211 - Hall 3
Blue Wasp Marine provides physics-based maritime performance modelling and simulation tools that are applied across a range of wind-assisted propulsion technologies. Its Pelican Suite™ software enables consistent, technology-neutral assessment of aerodynamic and hydrodynamic performance.
To further strengthen confidence in the methodology, the modelling approach and outputs were verified in line with industry practices by RINA, supporting alignment with recognized standards such as MEPC circ.896 and the ITTC Guidelines for Wind Powered Ships (2024), providing an additional layer of assurance for shipowners.
By combining GT Wings’ project experience with independent modelling and a clear verification pathway, the tool provides a neutral and credible view of performance potential. No registration needed.
