The organizer of the popular series is the City Initiative, which celebrated a great success last year with around 78,000 visitors. It remains to be seen whether there will be similar numbers this time.

The Maritime Week 2025 has a packed program. The “Discovery Days” in the first week (September 13th to 18th) offer numerous guided tours, lectures and city and boat tours. The topics range from maritime technology to global fisheries policy.
