CIMAC Newsletter February 2026

Welcome to our first newsletter of 2026!

We have set ambitious goals for the year ahead, and we are pleased to share that several key initiatives are already well underway. For instance, we have successfully relaunched the Strategy Group on Greenhouse Gas, creating renewed momentum for our climate‑related efforts. We also held our first town hall of the year, with many more sessions already planned, as reflected in the town hall calendar below.

Looking further ahead, we are organizing events during Posidonia in June in Athens and SMM in September in Hamburg. In May, we will have a Board & Council Meeting hosted by Woodward in Colorado, our Working Groups Meeting will take place in fall in Frankfurt.

We look forward to an exciting 2026 and to continued collaboration with all our stakeholders.Yours sincerely

Daniel Erdmann
Deputy Secretary General
