The future of ship propulsion will be shaped by both nature and technology. During BlueWeek 2026 in Marseille, from 7-10 April 2026, MARIN hosts several interesting seminars. On Thursday April 9 we explore how shipping can reduce emissions and use energy more efficiently.   🌬Natural Propulsion Technology Seminar How can ships harness the power of wind and turn potential into real performance? ⚡ Zero-Emission Technology Seminar Which technologies will enable the next generation of low- and zero-emission vessels? Together with experts from industry, research institutes and classification societies, we will discuss the latest developments in wind propulsion, advanced power systems, energy efficiency and more.   📅 9 April 2026 📍 ENSM, École Nationale Supérieure Maritime – Marseille 🔗 Join us in Marseille and register now: https://lnkd.in/ey2cpBRQ 🔗 View the full programme: https://lnkd.in/esBRVbBw   With contributions from Wärtsilä, TNO, Bureau Veritas Group, Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, RISE Research Institutes of Sweden, MerConcept and MARIN (Maritime Research Institute Netherlands). #BlueWeek #MaritimeInnovation #WindPropulsion #ZeroEmissionShipping
