Floating Energy Forum to champion offshore energy transition

David Boggs, Director, Energy Maritime Associates

 

Later webinars will address investment flows between hydrocarbons and renewables, advancements in floating gas technologies such as FLNG and FPSOs, and innovative approaches to project financing. Building on the webinar series, the flagship live Floating Energy Forum will take place on 14 May 2026 at the London offices of international law firm Norton Rose Fulbright. More than 100 high-level delegates from across the value chain are set to attend with discussions focusing on developing and financing commercially viable projects, emerging market opportunities, using technology to enable efficient construction and operation, asset life extension/redeployment and feasibility of green offshore energy innovations such as floating wind.

 

Commenting on the partnership, EMA director David Boggs said: "Floating hydrocarbon technologies unlock stranded reserves with a lower environmental footprint and are central to the energy transition. Our combined expertise ensures the Forum provides timely, data-driven insights enabling stakeholders to make informed decisions on financing and technology pathways."

 

Riviera Maritime Media executive editor and head of business relations Edwin Lampert said: "This partnership embodies a united commitment to advancing offshore floating energy through robust knowledge sharing and collaboration. Together, the webinars and live event prepare the industry to address critical challenges and capitalise on emerging opportunities in a rapidly evolving sector."
