With rising fuel bills, a need to increase the efficiency of transport operations, a requirement to reduce emissions from transport and a wish to reduce congestion, there is an increased focus on how transport collaboration is now viewed as an important way of meeting these goals.

This focus group will encourage organisations from across the transportation sector to meet and explore potential partnership opportunities, which should reduce and improve efficiency.

An industry leading panel will lead a 90 minute round table open discussion focusing on the technical, resource and commercial issues and how these may be overcome by joint initiatives.

Shippers can shift to more carbon-efficient modes of transportation, optimise routes, and rethink supply chains only if they can quickly and accurately compare technology options available and collaborate on joint developments and initiatives.

Following recent IMO changes making SEEMP mandatory for existing vessels and EEDI now mandatory for new ships, sustainable technologies are now, more than ever, at the forefront of future ship design and operational focus.

This 90 minute technology focus group will discuss a more collaborative approach between technology providers, ship operators and industry experts to reduce barriers and facilitate future innovation in sustainable technologies.
