The ‘Get Set for Workboat 2050’ series of conferences deals with decarbonisation and improving OPEX efficiencies. In partnership with The Workboat Association and the Royal Association of Netherlands Shipowners, Session 2 of the current series takes place at the Wereldmuseum in Rotterdam.

The Dutch commercial marine and workboat sector offers many diverse elements and is one of the largest and busiest in Europe.

Join the 1-day conference to gain insights and updates from leading experts as the industry navigates geopolitical challenges, confronts future skills gaps, and embraces OPEX efficiencies. It also offers a great opportunity to meet and network with colleagues, old and new.
