The Maritime Hybrid & Zero Emission Ships Conference – Hybrid to Zero 2026, held in Oslo on March 11–12, is a leading European event focused on hybrid and zero‑emission technologies for short‑sea vessels and feeder ships. It brings together a wide range of industry stakeholders (shipowners, shipyards, technology providers, battery and fuel‑cell developers, port authorities, regulators, financiers and researchers) to explore real‑world strategies for maritime decarbonization. The conference highlights advancements in marine batteries, hydrogen and ammonia systems, hybrid propulsion, port electrification, retrofitting solutions, and green financing, offering a comprehensive look at the transition toward cleaner shipping.

Across two days, attendees gain access to technical sessions, expert‑led panels, case studies, and technology showcases covering cutting‑edge topics such as energy storage, alternative fuels, shore‑power integration, and infrastructure alignment between ports and operators. Networking opportunities include dedicated breaks and the Sustainable Energy Dinner, fostering collaboration within the maritime electrification ecosystem. Hosted at the Clarion Hotel Oslo, the event provides a platform for learning, partnership building, and exploring practical and scalable pathways to achieve zero‑emission operations across short‑sea shipping sectors.
