Ferries Conference 2024
2024-10-08 | Renaissance Seattle Hotel, 515 Madison St., Seattle, WA, 98104, United States
Ferries 2024 is part of our continuing advocacy effort to promote marine transit as part of a viable alternative to single occupant vehicle commuting.
As commute patterns change, passenger ferry service provides the flexibility for communities to adapt to these changes quickly, affordably and sustainably.
And passenger vessels provide communities with an attractive alternative to traditional mass transit that add to the quality of life enjoyed by residents and employers alike.
Ferries 2024 is intended to help transit agencies, economic development agencies, community leaders and elected officials determine whether marine transit is right for their community.
The program has been developed to help community leaders determine what type of marine transit might best suit that community’s particular applications.
We hope you can join us in Seattle on October 8th, 2024

Sessions and streams will focus on the required infrastructure, alternative fuel options/bunkering, the technical solutions and how these align with the shipping lines and logistics chains. It is a must-attend event for policy makers, ports and terminal operators, shipping companies, shippers and logistics companies, fuel & propulsion providers, classification societies and associated decarbonisation clusters.
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. 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.
It is a must attend event for those involved in Ports and Shipping including policy makers, ports and terminal operators, shipping companies, shippers and logistics companies, fuel & propulsion providers, classification societies and associated decarbonisation clusters.

Sea Japan 2024
2024-04-10 10:00 - 2024-04-12 17:00 | Tokyo Big Sight, 3-11-1 Ariake, Koto-ku, Tokyo, Japan
Every two years since 1994 when the event was born in Yokohama, Japan’s shipbuilding and shipping industry gathers together at Sea Japan to showcase the very latest in marine technology and to meet and do business with their partners and suppliers from around the world.
Since 1994, Sea Japan has been held under various themes that match the trends of the time and industry needs. Sea Japan 2024, its 15th edition will focus on clean energy and explore the various options for the industry.
The next challenge for the maritime industry is to decide upon the new energy sources that will allow the carbon neutral operation of vessels. Which of the clean energy sources, such as hydrogen, ammonia, liquefied natural gas (LNG), and electricity, will prove to be the right choice for the industry in the future? How will we work to improve efficiency and ensure safety for practical use in the future? Sea Japan 2024 will put this challenge in the spotlight.
Comprising of a large exhibition with over 580 exhibitors, a high-level international conference, technical seminars, ship visits, and networking events, it ranks among the key maritime exhibitions held around the world. The focus is on advanced marine technology such as fuel efficiency, environmental protection, the use of IoT and the development of autonomous ship operations.
A new addition to Sea Japan 2024 will be an offshore and port technology exhibition, “Offshore & Port Tech 2024” as its parallel event. The new event will provide a platform for technology and information exchange between new ocean businesses and the maritime industry, such as the blue economy, the development of marine renewable energy such as offshore wind power generation, and efforts for carbon-neutral ports which are becoming more active recently.
Sea Japan will provide you with the perfect opportunity to expand your business in Japan. For more info: www.seajapan.ne.jp/en

DSNAME - ESG reporting and new EU regulations for shipping
2024-03-04 17:00 - 20:00 | IDA, Ingeniørforeningen, 31 Kalvebod Brygge, Copenhagen, 1560, Denmark
During this meeting we will look into ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) reporting for shipping companies and how operational data is becoming more and more important for company wide reporting about fuel consumption and emissions.
Furthermore, we will look into the regulations EU ETS implemented in 2024 and FuelEU Maritime that will come into force in 2025. We will look into the different perspectives and impact of these regulations and frameworks, and touch upon strategies for compliance that could become relevant in the future for shipping companies.

Impact of reporting and regulation on a shipping company by Lina Barsøe, Head of Decarbonization Pathway, DFDS
ESG data, especially about GHG emissions, is becoming more and more important and necessary to track and report. The tracking is very important to build a strategy for the future of DFDS and to track if the initiatives are working. Reporting is becoming a bigger need due to increased regulation and stricter reporting measures. Furthermore, customers and society are also asking for this data.

Operational cycles and an evidence-based assessment of compliance options by Amandine Godet, PhD, DTU, George Panagakos, Senior Researcher, DTU, and Michael Bruhn Barfoed, Associate Professor, DTU
The NICE project at DTU Management has worked on technical and operational approaches over the past three years to develop an indicator that can effectively reflect all attributes of a ship’s energy efficiency. Detailed technical and operational data for containerships have been analyzed to propose a weather-normalized indicator and apply it on standardized pre-determined operational cycles for different ship sizes. This presentation will concern the development of the cycles and how they can be used as a benchmarking tool for strengthening the regulatory framework of international shipping. Furthermore, the presentation will broaden the unit of concern from a single ship to a fleet of ships and provide evidence-based insights into the feasibility and cost-effectiveness of compliance options for reducing GHG emissions in the shipping industry.
