Njord at Maritime Transport Efficiency Conference in Geneva

🌊 Reflections from the Maritime Transport Efficiency Conference

Yesterday, our Managing Director Frederik Pind joined a dynamic panel at #MTEConference2025 to discuss one of the most pressing questions in maritime innovation: “How to Select the Next Best Technology.”

In a room full of shipowners, charterers, and solution providers, the discussion revealed just how nuanced that decision really is. Selecting technologies isn’t a one-size-fits-all process — it’s deeply dependent on segment, timing, and confidence built through pilot projects.

Key takeaways from the session:

1. Small improvements can have a big impact when scaled across fleets.
2. Collaboration between charterers and owners is essential — each faces different commercial realities, but both benefit from shared confidence in emerging solutions.
3. A holistic mix of fuels and technologies will be necessary to reach real zero — no single path fits all.
4. And finally, regulatory clarity will play a pivotal role in making innovative tech commercially viable.

“It’s not about chasing every new solution — it’s about finding the right combination of technologies for each segment, at the right time, with the right partners.”

— Frederik Pind, Managing Director, Njord

In a regulatory landscape that’s constantly shifting, clarity and trust are key. We’re proud to be part of a community that’s not just talking about change, but actively shaping it.

Thanks to our fellow panelists from Total Energies, Louis Dreyfus Company, Cargill, and Union Maritime Ltd. for the thoughtful exchange — and to Richard Watts and the MTE team for bringing the industry together.
