At BEFF Monaco 2025, global leaders highlighted how blended finance and blue financial instruments—such as blue bonds and conservation-linked loans—are unlocking capital for sustainable ocean governance and attracting private investment into the blue economy.

As the maritime industry accelerates its shift toward decarbonisation, the transformation of ports and coastal infrastructure is emerging as a critical priority. Insights from the BEFF 2025 Monaco panel show how smart technologies, electrification, and integrated local planning are reshaping ports for a sustainable future—laying the foundation for climate-resilient, digitally connected maritime hubs.

The future of global shipping is being reshaped by the rise of alternative fuels like bio- and e-methanol, e-methane, and ammonia. These low-emission options require entirely new vessel designs, including dual-fuel systems and advanced safety features. Innovations in lightweight materials and naval engineering are also driving more efficient ships. As the industry transitions, investment and regulation will be crucial to scaling sustainable, next-generation fleets.
