Workshop: A New Environment for Shipping

Preceding the Sustainable Shipping Conference in Washington D.C. came the only training course that addressed what you need to know about the impact of environmental legislation on the global shipping industry.

Delivered in a one day overview by leading environmental consultant, Robin Meech, MD Marine and Energy Consulting.

Why attend?

For suppliers, buyers, and service suppliers to gain awareness of the issues, implications, responsibilities and economics of cleaner emissions. The inclusion of case studies, well-informed lectures and ample time for in-depth questions, answers and discussion, guaranteed that this workshop provided the answers for all who attended.

Content:

• Marine emissions from both a buyer’s and a supplier’s  perspective
• Close look at the legislation that has already been  introduced by IMO and the EU
• In depth analysis of plans and legislation to be  introduced both in the USA and worldwide  

The workshop looked closely at controlling emissions, through scrubbing, emissions trading, using only distillates, and other options.

Examining bunker and fuel oil supply and demand, prices and sulphur premiums – where they are now and where they may be once the next layer of legislation kicks in. Looking at choices facing ship operators – what do they need to do now and what can they expect later? How much will it cost and what are likely to be the penalties for non-compliance? What impact will it have on bunker suppliers?

This workshop was vital for anyone wanting to get all the need-to-know information in one place.
