Designed to balance strategic insight with commercial relevance, Maritime Week Africa 2027 will once again provide the premier forum for discussing the future of marine fuels, traditional bunkering and the maritime energy transition across Africa and the Indian Ocean.
Maritime Week Africa returns to Cape Town in January 2027, bringing together more than 200 shipping, bunkering and marine energy professionals from Africa, Europe, the Middle East and Asia.
