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.

Traditional methods of risk management and more recent derivatives tools will be explored through this unique programme. The course has been designed to draw on the experience and high quality work of Professor Manolis Kavussanos of Athens University of Economics and Business (ASSOE) and Assistant Professor Ilias Visvikis of ALBA Graduate Business School. More than ten years’ pioneering work is embedded in the program, which brings market participants to the forefront of developments in the areas of risk management and derivatives in shipping.
Why this course?

Combining academic rigor with the practical knowledge, this course offers essential skills and guidance to company personnel wishing to implement shipping derivatives for risk management purposes. It reflects all recent developments in the area of shipping derivatives, by continuous reviewing and updating of its curriculum. The course includes practical examples with real data covering every aspect of risk in shipping, hands on simulations, exercises and discussions using small group discussions to maximise interaction.

The continuing endorsement of the International Salvage Union reflects the importance of this annual event for all salvage and associated industry professionals and is sure to promote lively discussion of topical issues.
