Splash Singapore Set to Debut After Successful Geneva Dry Forum.
After the strong success of Geneva Dry Forum 2026, organisers are preparing to launch a new global shipping conference called Splash Singapore, scheduled for September 24 at the Fairmont Hotel in Singapore.
The event is organised by the team behind maritime news platform Splash and the Geneva Dry forum. It aims to bring senior global shipping leaders together for direct, unscripted discussions on key industry challenges.
A New Style of Maritime Conference
Splash Singapore will follow a unique format with no presentations or sales pitches. Instead, it will focus on open conversations among top industry professionals. The event is supported by the Singapore Maritime Foundation and will feature shipowners, ship managers, and charterers from around the world.
Key Industry Topics
The conference will include several major sessions such as:
- Global shipping market challenges
- Tanker and dry bulk sector outlook
- Future of ship chartering
- AI and digitalisation in maritime industry
- Workforce transformation in shipping
A special highlight will be the new “SplashTech Digital Leaders Forum,” focusing on how digital tools and AI are reshaping global shipping operations.
Focus on AI and Maritime Innovation
One of the most anticipated sessions will explore how artificial intelligence and digital systems are transforming shipping efficiency, decision-making, and workforce roles. Industry leaders are expected to debate both the benefits and challenges of rapid digitalisation in maritime operations.
Global Industry Leaders Confirmed
The event will feature CEOs and senior executives from major shipping companies, including leaders from Performance Shipping, Norden, Hafnia, BW Group, Vale, and other global maritime firms. Veteran moderator Tim Huxley will guide discussions, adding expert insight and real-world industry experience.
Strategic Timing in Singapore
The event is strategically scheduled just before the Singapore Shipping Association annual dinner, making it part of a major maritime week in the region. Other global shipping events will also take place during the same period.
