green-ship-technology-2009 conference

Tuesday 24th – Wednesday 25th March 2009
Le Royal Meridien, Hamburg

Lloyd’s List events’ 6th annual Green Ship Technology conference, taking place in Hamburg in 2009, is a must-attend event for the shipping industry where participants can exchange ideas and experiences, and keep up-to-date on technical and legislative developments, in plenary sessions, break-out sessions and in the informal networking breaks.

There is increasing intolerance for any kind of ship source pollution, and international regulations are becoming more and more stringent, in particular for all types of ships’ emissions. Partnered with the high and rising cost of fuel, shipping companies and related industries are continuing to develop new, greener, technologies to deal with the issues of air emissions, fuel management, waste management, ballast water management, oily water/sludge waste removal and ship recycling. The drive for competitiveness, accompanied by concern for the environment, will continue to drive forward technological innovation and research in the maritime industry.

In today’s world, environmental and economic objectives go hand-in-hand: this conference is your opportunity to hear about these new technologies and discuss the potential for sustainable ship operations, from design and build through to recycling. Discuss new ideas with your industry peers on the latest research and find out where technology is going and what has been achieved so far.

Ship Recycling Forum - Dubai 2009

This one day forum for shipowners, shipbreakers, shipbrokers, legislators, classification societies, lawyers and regulators will provide insight into the radically changing regulatory environment and tackle the hard commercial issues affecting the demolition industry.

With the world financial crisis causing shipowners to radically reassess their fleets, is older tonnage now becoming too hot to handle? Or does recycling present an opportunity to show off green credentials? Is the scrap bonanza over for good, or will the credit crunch prompt a new boom for demolition? But when times are tough, are owners prepared to pay more for environmentally friendly demolition?

Chaired by Nikos Mikelis of IMO the Forum will shine a much needed spotlight on how the current changes will impact ship owners, ship breakers and associated industries. A top line-up of influential speakers drawn from government, industry and NGO’s will provide delegates with thorough insight and understanding of current thinking in ship recycling, while a lively social networking programme has been designed to maximize delegate interaction and value for time.

Why you should attend:

Lloyd’s Maritime Academy is delighted to announce Reducing emissions to air from shipping, the first practical seminar to highlight the latest legal and technical developments in response to national and international regulations.

The timing of this seminar is crucial as the maritime industry will not escape new legislation designed to cut emissions such as sulphur and carbon dioxide. Ship fuel is highly polluting and new positive solutions for polluting far less needs to be developed as stricter standards worldwide are likely to be introduced on SOx, NOx and particulate emissions levels.

This seminar will provide an opportunity to listen to some of the new regulations that will form a revision to Marpol Annex VI which are likely to be highly controversial. Through a series of specialist case studies, the speakers will highlight some of the challenges facing the shipping and maritime sectors today and in the future, bringing together equipment specialists, port authorities, suppliers of fuel and shipping charterers who need to work much more closely to create new innovative techniques to find solutions to reduce air pollution.

Come ready to debate one of the most challenging sectors for the shipping industry. Discover some of the practical ways to meet new standards – listen to the industry specialists and take away concise examples of how the shipping industry needs to make a difference.
