AMC is pleased to announce a significant milestone: the official launch of WAVE, which stands for Worldwide Alliance for Vessel Decarbonization & Energy Transition, a new maritime cluster that aims to connect Innovation with practical integration onboard. WAVE was officially launched on 1 September 2026 at SMM Hamburg, marked by the signing of the founding agreement between its four founding members: ALPHA MARINE CONSULTING, LOMAR LABS, MARIN & C-JOB.
During the launch event at the Digital Hub, our Georgios D. Kouris, AMC R&D Manager alongside our friends Nikol Kostantopoulou from Lomar Labs, Yvette Klinkenberg from MARIN, and Job Volwater from C-Job, presented WAVE’s vision, main objectives, governance framework, and future goals.
As a structured collaborative platform, WAVE aims to connect maritime stakeholders across Europe and beyond, strengthen North–South cooperation, accelerate technology demonstration and validation, and support the transition of promising innovations from research and development to practical, scalable onboard applications. Our ambition is to create a strong and open maritime ecosystem where innovation meets implementation, contributing directly to vessel decarbonization, the energy transition, and the sustainable transformation of the shipping industry.
