This two-day event will convene leaders, experts, and innovators from across the maritime spectrum, shipping companies, ship owners and operators, port authorities, shipyards, regulators, and solution providers, to deliberate on pressing challenges, share experiences, and propose actionable strategies for a prosperous, sustainable, and competitive maritime future.

Held in Lebanon, a historical gateway of shipping and trade, the Shipping Forum on October 7, 2026 will spotlight growth prospects, ongoing projects, and sectoral achievements, while addressing emerging trends such as digitalization, green shipping, and operational excellence. It will serve as a platform for collaboration, knowledge exchange, and forward-looking solutions to strengthen the resilience of the regional maritime ecosystem.

Complementing these strategic discussions, the Robban Assafina Maritime Awards Night on October 8, 2026 will celebrate the industry’s brilliance and milestones, honoring individuals, organizations, and innovations that have left a lasting mark on the maritime canvas. Building on the success of the inaugural edition in 2023, the 2026 Awards will feature a distinguished panel of judges ensuring integrity and excellence in recognizing true pioneers and visionaries.

Together, the Shipping Forum & Awards will transcend the ordinary, combining thought leadership with judicious recognition, as we collectively celebrate the tenacity, innovation, and achievements that define the lifeblood of global trade and connectivity.
