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.

The Annual Marine Propulsion Conference
Conference overview

The Annual Marine Propulsion Conference 2009 will really address the operational challenges facing ship operators today. Designed by industry for industry, the innovative event format makes it must attend for anyone whose business involves marine propulsion.

Following the resounding success of the inaugural event in 2008, the Annual Marine Propulsion Conference returns to London in 2009 with an exceptional programme of presentations and networking opportunities designed for industry professionals like you. We have listened to feedback from last year’s attendees and used our daily interaction with the market to put together two days of topical and original papers that directly address the operational challenges facing ship operators today – and that will be delivered by the speakers that you want to listen to.

The well-received conference format of last year will be continued. Each session panel over the two days will feature a paper from at least one world class shipowner/operators alongside experts from OEMs, government, industry representative bodies and academia. This formula – with the shipowner at the heart – provides for lively and stimulating debate on the practical challenges faced across a wide range of operational issues. The information and insights shared will have a direct relevance for your company and the decisions that you make in the future.

To satisfy demand the programme is complimented by excellent networking and social events, including pre-conference drinks reception, pre-dinner drinks, Gala Dinner, and refreshment breaks during the conference which are held within a dedicated exhibition space.

With over 250 delegates expected to attend, the second Annual Marine Propulsion Conference is the international must-attend event for anyone involved in this sector.

We look forward to warmly welcoming you, whether a past delegate or a new delegate, in London on 11-12 March 2009.

At any time, there are about 1,000 ships in port. More than 12,000 oil tankers and 3,000 chemical tankers call at Singapore a year. With the substantial amount of oil and chemicals being shipped in and out of the island, safeguarding our waters and port terminals agains threats remains a top priority of the MPA. Singapore was the first country in Asia to sign the US Container Security Initiative (CSI). Singapore maintains a high level of maritime vigilance for the port and its waterways. This is carried out throught the work of the MPA, the enforcement and security agencies and terminal operators.

This conference should not be just about Singapore port security but cover all aspects of Government Regulations and initiatives in “enforcing” security at ports and how this can be achieved; maritime domain awareness and the security of international as well as regional waters (piracy prevention); key initiatives locally and worldwide in enforcing maritime security; and countering terrorism attacks and disaster managements; compliance guidelines and the latest emerging port security capabilities.
