Propulsion and Future Fuels Conference welcomes back the German Shipowners’ Association (VDR) as a valued supporter. 

VDR logo

VDR is a leading professional association within the German business community. It was founded in 1907 by the regional shipowners’ associations to enable them to have a common and uniform representation of their interests.  

Today, the VDR represents the German maritime shipping segment not only in Berlin and Bonn, but also in Brussels, London, Geneva and at global level.  

With over 150 member companies from different shipping sectors, the association represents the German shipping industry, which currently boasts the world’s fifth-largest merchant fleet. As an employers’ association, it conducts collective bargaining and social partner negotiations. 

Members of the VDR enjoy access to VDR-experts’ full range of knowledge and experience, including digitalisation, regulation, labour law, the tax environment, port state controls and ballast water management.  

VDR also creates platforms for interaction between members – during events and workshops, at seminars or on expert commissions and on an informal basis.  

Members of VDR can take advantage of a 50% discount on the Propulsion and Future Fuels Conference delegate rate. For further details and the member discount code please contact VDR directly or sales@proulsionconference.com
