Green ship of the future
Towards zero, together
We are a group of partners, who explore the road towards zero emission maritime transportation, the short and long term solutions and the necessary stepping stones between today, 2030, 2050 and beyond. We believe that collaboration across the maritime value chain is part of the solution, so join us, today and be part of the journey towards zero.
What we do
We explore the road towards a future where the shipping industry has zero negative impact on the climate and environment.
We do so by exploring the impact from shipping and the potential solutions. We contantly seek to answer the question; “what is the ideal green ship of the future?” As our knowledge increase and our understanding of imact our industry has on the environment and climate evolves. This enables a more holisticly understanding of our challenges, the oppotunities and the externalities involved.
We are an independent, member driven and controled organization, that bring together central stakeholder to the maritime industry and act as a platform for collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and innovation where the different actors can come together with a shared strategic agenda
Our interests
At the core of what we do is knowledge sharing. We facilitate knowledge sharing by thematically dealing with a broad range of topics, including but now limited to; future fuels and energy vectors, energy efficient ship design and technology, 3D print, digitization, AI and circular economy. We aim to leave no stone unturned and take no sides. The interests show here are not an exhaustive list, nor is it a representation of what we belive in. These are simply an exhibit of areas and topics we have explored on our road to better understanding the challenges we deal with and the potential solutions to them.

Who are we
Green Ship of the Future (GSF) is an independent non-profit organization driven, owned and financed by the members.
GSF was founded in Copenhagen, Denmark in 2008 with the goal of fostering on open collaboration and cooperation between the different stakeholders across maritime industry.
Today, GSF is a group of around 40 organizations, from all over the world, whom share knowledge and collaborates on projects to close the knowledge gaps towards an industry free from negative impact on the environment and climate. GSF is open to all organizations who share our goal of making our industry more sustainable – today the partners are a mix of ship owners/managers/operators, OEMs, suppliers, classification societies, authorities, research- and educational institutions and other central stakeholder to the maritime industry.
