The 21st International Maritime Conference – the oldest and largest maritime conference in the Baltics – will take place on September 26, 2025 at the Tallink SPA & Conference Hotel in Tallinn. Organized by the Estonian Shipowners’ Association, Port of Tallinn, TalTech Estonian Maritime Academy, Tallink Group, and Corpore Conferences, the event will gather more than 30 top maritime experts as speakers under the theme “New Reality in Maritime.”
Keynote speakers include Costas Kadis, European Commissioner for Fisheries and Oceans, and Sotiris Raptis, Secretary General of the European Community Shipowners’ Associations (ECSA). The conference also marks World Maritime Day, bringing together leaders from Estonia and neighboring countries’ maritime, transport, public, academic, and business sectors to discuss the industry’s future and propose solutions that strengthen both the economy and society.
The Port of Tallinn plays a central role in this year’s conference, highlighting how ports are evolving into strategic energy and innovation hubs.
“The future of maritime truly begins in the port,” said Margus Vihman, Chief Commercial Officer at Port of Tallinn. “Ports have always powered economies by moving goods, attracting investment, and enabling trade. Now we stand on the brink of a new era: ports can become innovation engines, unlocking renewable energy, digitalisation, and automation. Without port infrastructure, offshore wind, hydrogen, or e-fuels cannot scale. But when a port builds that foundation, opportunities multiply — investors arrive, industries grow, and transformation accelerates. At Port of Tallinn, we see our role not only as a gateway for trade but as a driver of the next wave of maritime change.”
With its long tradition and future-oriented agenda, the International Maritime Conference offers a unique opportunity to connect with industry pioneers, policymakers, and innovators shaping the next era of shipping.

Vanasadama reisiterminalide juures on võimalik reisijate pealevõtmiseks ja mahapanekuks lühiajaliselt tasuta parkida – selleks on nii A- kui D-terminali juures Kiss&Sail parklad. Kiss&Sail parklad on kasutamiseks nii erasõidukitele, mittelepingulistele taksodele kui ka sõidujagamis-app’ide sõidukitele (Bolt, Uber, Yandex jne). Otse terminali uste ette pääsevad vaid lepingulised taksod (Tallink, Tulika). Terminalide ees on lubatud lühiajaliselt parkida ainult bussidel.
