Bringing ports and shippers together to tackle emissions

Caring for the environment by reducing emissions is a priority for all our businesses. But practically, neither group can achieve their objectives without working together and with the direct co-operation of the other.

”The conference promotes collaboration and debate on the challenges and opportunities affecting the industry, whilst enabling conference delegates and participants to establish and build on relationships through the networking opportunities on offer,” said Josie Gilchriest, conference manager, Mercator Media Ltd.

“It is a place for industry professionals to meet and discuss all aspects of energy transition plans and implementation as they affect port operations and ships as well discuss the required infrastructure, alternative fuel options/bunkering, the technical solutions and how these align with the shipping lines and logistics chains.”

Not to be missed

The conference is geared towards those involved in the ports and shipping markets including policy makers, ports and terminal operators, shipping companies, shippers and logistics companies, fuel & propulsion providers, classification societies and associated decarbonisation clusters.

One of the highlights on the conference programme will be a presentation on maritime digitalisation by Brendan Curtis, chief commercial officer, OMC International, on Wednesday 8 May.

This presentation will present a case study for the latest digital solutions that integrate AI, IoT and advanced numerical modelling to maximise the efficiency of port operations, allowing ports to safely facilitate larger, deeper vessels, with a focus on the CO2 emissions reductions that have been achieved.

Another highlight will be a presentation on Project REMARCCABLE (Realising Maritime Carbon Capture to demonstrate the Ability to Lower Emissions), the world’s first project aimed to demonstrate end-to-end shipboard carbon capture at scale, led by the Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonisation (GCMD).

Project REMARCCABLE will be presented by Eng Kiong, director, research & projects, GMCD on Thursday 9 May in the Green Technologies Session.

Other confirmed speakers talks are Jens Van Yperzeele, director – transport & logistics, APAC, ING Bank and Elena Talalasova, senior project manager, Global Maritime Forum, who will be presenting on green shipping corridors.
