Global Maritime Forum (GMF)

The Global Maritime Forum is an international organization that convenes companies, policymakers, financial institutions, and civil-society stakeholders across the maritime sector. Established in 2017, the forum facilitates collaboration on systemic challenges affecting global seaborne trade, including decarbonization, human sustainability, and maritime workforce issues. Its activities include research, industry convenings such as the Global Maritime Forum Annual Summit, and the development of multi-stakeholder initiatives. Projects associated with the forum include the Sea Cargo Charter, the Poseidon Principles, and the Getting to Zero Coalition, which bring together shipping, energy, and finance stakeholders to address climate-related risks and emissions in maritime transport.
