Maritime Week Las Palmas 2024
- Type: Conference/Seminar
Event Overview:
Bring together the bunker, energy, shipping, and maritime industries to showcase this dynamic logistics hub
The Port of Las Palmas is a key strategic mid-Atlantic maritime and logistics hub serving the offshore energy sector and ships sailing to and from Africa, Europe, and the Americas. Lately, it has also been playing a vital role in refuelling vessels diverted around Africa from the Red Sea and Suez Canal.
Maritime Week Las Palmas will examine the port’s maritime activities, from bunkering and bulk storage to fuel testing and ship repair; from cargo handling and agency to ship supply and spare part services. The high-level Flagship Conference programme will be combined with an exclusive hands-on tour to showcase the activities that make this unique port function.
A comprehensive one-day training course on Alternative Fuels, a tabletop exhibition, and an abundance of stunning networking events guarantee that this year’s Maritime Week Las Palmas will deliver.
The Port of Las Palmas and FEDEPORT – the Canary Islands Federation of Port Enterprises – are collaborating to deliver the oil spill exercise, a reception in the heart of the port, and a guided tour of the facilities at the Port of Las Palmas, including bunker barges, oil storage and delivery facilities, container and cruise terminals, offshore drill ships, tugs, and other workboats, and the island’s key shipyards.
The oil spill exercise will be a realistic scenario in which all anti-pollution plans provided for in international regulation will be activated. The exercise will be an opportunity to update and improve communication processes between the public and private agents involved and to demonstrate the professionalism and capacity of the Port of Las Palmas in the event of marine pollution due to discharge.

The ship.energy summit is returning to Spain in 2023 to deliver a high-level debate on the rate of progress in the decarbonisation of shipping and ports. This year’s event will be held on 27 April at the Higher Technical School of Naval Engineers, part of the prestigious Technical University of Madrid. It will continue looking at the global narrative of shipping’s energy transition, and, as always, the conference sessions will reference and be informed by case studies whether they be start-up initiatives or projects that are well on the way to commercialisation and scalability.
The main focus of the summit will be on fuel and technology supply chains. Speakers will discuss the decarbonisation challenges presented in each ‘link’ of these chains and will assess whether sufficient progress is being made to deliver on the IMO’s 2030 and 2050 targets. By taking a deliberately linear approach to these timelines, delegates will be able to assess where there are supply chain gaps to be closed and where the pace of development needs to be stepped up.
