It is my absolute pleasure to invite you to join us in Perth to connect with colleagues, peers, and global experts to develop key relationships and foster collaborations at Blueprint for a Maritime Nation 2026.

In the three years since our last major event in Western Australia, maritime has continued its shift towards green fuel corridors, improving domestic merchant shipping capability and increased calls for government action to implement policies and incentives for global competitiveness.

Your attendance matters because it demonstrates to government and sectors that rely on Australian shipping that we are united when it comes to business-critical and strategic issues, such as competitiveness, skills development, national resilience, infrastructure, sovereign capability, and sustainability.

Our industry is on a journey and this conference is about making sure you know where it’s headed so you can strap in for the ride.

I look forward to welcoming you in person.
