Hyports: A Dive into Marseille’s Maritime Ecosystem and Its Many Ports

Next week, the Meet4Hydrogen platform will host a dual event: Hyports for maritime topics and Hysky for aeronautics. Hydrogen Today invites you to explore the programme dedicated to boats and ports.

For its 2025 edition, the conference will feature two keynote addresses. First, the Grand Port Maritime de Marseille-Fos will be represented by its Deputy Managing Director, Rémi Constantino. Later, a panel discussion on the Marseille ecosystem will include the Capenergies Centre, Natran (formerly GRTGaz), and various energy companies. The organisers have also announced that Victorien Erussard, the founder of Energy Observer, will attend to review this unique journey and present his new projects.

Numerous Stakeholders Will Be in Attendance

Key maritime players will be present, including the French maritime cluster, DGAMPA, Meet2050, CMA-CGM, Haropa Port, and representatives from the regions of the South, Brittany, and Normandy, as well as delegates from the port of Strasbourg, VNF, and maritime ecosystems in Germany, Belgium, the North Sea, Italy, Morocco, and Canada (which hosted a Hyports edition in 2024).

The event will also bring together energy producers such as Elyse Energy, Engie, Hy2gen, Hynamics, and Lhyfe, along with regulatory bodies like Bureau Veritas and companies offering alternative propulsion solutions. Notably, Hopium will speak alongside K-Challenge as part of the Orient Express Racing Team (America’s Cup challenge). Ariane, better known for its role in aerospace, will also participate in the maritime segment.

Additionally, Evolen will lead a session dedicated to e-fuels—a theme common to both maritime and aeronautics. France Hydrogène will be represented by its President Philippe Boucly and Maxime Marset, who will discuss advancements in the maritime roadmap.

As in every edition, start-ups and companies will pitch for the delivery awards. This year’s candidates include Sogestran, Ephyra, Europe Technologies, Helion (Alstom), the Maritime College of Bastia, K-Challenge, and Terega.
