A panel debate looking at the following questioPanel Debate:

Bunker levy versus ETS- what are the benefits? Can these schemes reduce 'macro' CO2 levels or are they merely passing the buck? What are the alternatives? Are mandatory standards for ships the way forward? What should these standards be? How can systems ensure that players with the most efficient ships benefit economically? What about the rest of the world fleet?

A short introduction from technology solution providers followed by a panel debate on key issues: A short introduction from technology solution providers followed by a panel debate on key issues

Are the regulators moving fast enough to reduce CO2 emissions? Could a 70% fuel efficiency savings be achieved by 2020? Is it time for a change in wholesale design? To what extent are the shipyards complacent to major design shifts? Why has there been so little take up of efficiency technology from the shipowning community relative to the aviation industry, for example? Is the 'ship design index' the answer? Will the UNFCCC introduce a substantial cap on CO2 in December? To what extent should the charterers and large multi-national 'shippers' be taking more responsibility to drive an efficiency boom in ship design and technology take-up?
