The “2nd Green Transformation in Maritime Summit,” organized by the İMEAK Chamber of Shipping, was held on Wednesday, 24 December 2025, at the Tuzla Campus of Piri Reis University.
The summit was organized with the aim of contributing to and drawing attention to the transformation of the maritime sector into a more sustainable, environmentally friendly, and future-oriented structure within the framework of the IMO’s 2023 GHG Strategy and the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) implemented in response to global climate change. During the event, key topics such as strategies for a decarbonized future in maritime transport, alternative energy sources, low-carbon fuel technologies and infrastructure, as well as sustainable production and circular economy approaches in shipyards, shipbuilding, and ports were discussed.
