The Seatrade Maritime UAE Summit is a one-day, invitation-led gathering of senior leaders from across global shipping, hosted by Seatrade Maritime in partnership with DP World. It brings together ship owners, operators, managers and port and terminal leaders to discuss the forces shaping the next chapter of the industry.

This year’s programme covers global trade shifts, decarbonisation and digitalisation, the resilience of Gulf cargo flows, and innovation in maritime services and port collaboration. The Summit will also see the launch of the 2026 Leading Maritime Cities report by Menon Economics and DNV, and the launch of UAE Maritime Week 2027.

The day closes with an evening networking dinner hosted by DP World, giving attendees the chance to connect with peers from across the regional and international maritime community.
