about.
DTF positions ports at the intersection of maritime regulation, national grids and energy systems, and moves the conversation from shore power compliance to integrated, resilient energy infrastructure.
DTF is where shore power meets the energy systems required to make maritime electrification work at scale. Over two days, delegates from 30+ countries convene at the Valletta Gateway Terminal to deploy, stabilise, scale, integrate, finance and operate the infrastructure that powers tomorrow’s ports.
Shore power at scale, peak load management, energy resilience. The real operational challenges ports face when ships plug in.
Grid capacity, wind integration, battery energy storage, digital twins. The energy systems that must operate behind every berth.
Bankable infrastructure, PPP models, long term returns. Financing frameworks that turn policy mandates into deployed infrastructure.

Valletta Gateway Terminal.
At the entrance to the Grand Harbour, with direct access to the port, conference facilities and exhibition space for 70+ booths. The natural place to connect the maritime and energy sectors.
