Electric & Hybrid Marine and Autonomous Ship unite as Advanced Maritime Technology, creating a single global hub for smart‑ship innovation, decarbonisation, regulation, infrastructure and autonomy
DORKING, GB / ACCESS Newswire / February 15, 2026 / Electric & Hybrid Marine (EHM) and Autonomous Ship, two of the maritime industry's most established specialist event brands, have officially rebranded as Advanced Maritime Technology (AMT), a single, integrated, mega event designed to reflect how maritime technology is now developed, deployed and commercialised.
The new AMT brand reflects the rapid convergence of technologies shaping modern vessel design and operation. As electrification, autonomy, digital systems, infrastructure, and regulation become increasingly interdependent, AMT has been created to provide a single, integrated platform for the full marine technology ecosystem.
Advanced Maritime Technology brings together and expands upon the foundations of the Electric & Hybrid Marine and the Autonomous Ship events, unifying them under a future-focused umbrella that mirrors how marine technology is now developed, deployed, and commercialised in the real world. The expanded event is complimented by the announcement that Electric & Hybrid Marine Technology International - the world's first publication solely dedicated to marine electrification, decarbonization and GHG reduction - has officially rebranded as Advanced Maritime Technology International, acknowledging the ever-increasing scope of industry that is covers.
Colette Tebbutt, Managing Director of UKi Media & Events, remarked:
"This rebrand is a bold statement of intent, and we're genuinely excited about what comes next. The maritime industry is entering a new era in which technology is conceived, developed and deployed collaboratively, shipowners, ports, regulators and innovators are moving in lockstep toward a shared future. Advanced Maritime Technology embodies this shift and places the event at the heart of the industry's next chapter"
Samuel Gee, Conference Director - UKi Media & Events added:
"The industry has moved beyond siloed technology conversations. AMT reflects how decisions are actually made today. Where propulsion, energy, automation, infrastructure, regulation, and finance are inseparable. This rebrand allows us to serve the industry with greater clarity, relevance, and commercial value."
A Broader, Integrated Event Platform
Advanced Maritime Technology is designed as a comprehensive B2B expo and conference, structured around four interconnected streams:
Electrification: vessel scale-up: electric and hybrid propulsion, batteries, fuel cells, alternative fuels, power distribution, and vessel integration
Automation: pragmatic autonomy and remote operation: commercially viable automation, remote operation, decision-support systems, and pathways to autonomy
Infrastructure: enabling decarbonisation at scale: ports, charging infrastructure, grid capacity, fuel supply, and cross-stakeholder planning
Regulation: business & finance: regulation, compliance, risk, insurance, and investment models shaping adoption
This structure enables deep technical engagement while fostering cross-disciplinary insight, reflecting the complexity of modern maritime innovation.
Building on a Strong Legacy
The rebrand builds on more than a decade of insight and industry engagement delivered through the Electric & Hybrid Marine and the Autonomous Ship events, both of which have played a pivotal role in advancing low- and zero-emission technologies and autonomous systems.
By consolidating these platforms and expanding the scope, AMT positions itself as the definitive global meeting point for maritime professionals focused on shaping the future of maritime technology.
Looking Ahead
Advanced Maritime Technology will continue to evolve alongside the industry, supporting not only technology development but deployment at scale.
