About DTF
From Shore Power to Integrated Energy Systems
DTF Conference positions ports as the intersection of maritime regulation, national grids and energy systems. The conference moves the conversation from shore power compliance to the delivery of integrated, resilient energy infrastructure.
DTF is where shore power meets the energy systems required to make maritime electrification work at scale. Over two days, 1,500+ delegates from 30+ countries convene at the Valletta Gateway Terminal in Malta to deploy, stabilise, scale, integrate, finance, and operate the infrastructure that powers tomorrow's ports.
