Maritime Air Pollution Conference, Americas 2020
RouteMAP for maritime industry GHG emissions and air pollution reduction
On 1 January 2020, a once-in-a-generation regulatory change took place. This conference will explore vessel owner/operator experiences with their chosen compliance technologies including fuels, lubricants, engines and scrubbers.
The conference will examine the performance of scrubbers in the field and address the likelihood of a bottleneck occurring in the near future as more companies prepare for installations. Also, the event will examine recent investment decisions by comparing those owners/operators with scrubbers and those paying higher prices for VLSFO.
Key industry players will meet to discuss not only issues relevant to IMO 2020 but also the challenges that lie ahead, the main challenge being the compliance requirements concerning greenhouse gases and decarbonisation.
Programme Highlights
- Industry benchmarking: Hear experiences and gain insights into field data from across the supply chain since the introduction of 2020 Sulphur Cap on 1 January.
- Vessel owner/operator experiences with low sulphur fuels, cylinder oil lubricants, scrubbers, alternative fuels and engines.
- IMO 2020 Sulphur Cap: regulation update plus how enforcement will take place.
- New low sulphur fuel oils: quality, availability and price.
- New cylinder oil lubricants’ features and benefits.
- Understanding the fuel and lubricant requirements for 2 and 4 stroke engines.
- Scrubbers update: performance in the field and demand for future installations.
- Alternative fuels update: examining the hot new technologies: LNG, LPG, Methanol, Ammonia, Hydrogen, Hybrid-Electric and Fuel Cells.
- Assessing short- and long-term technical measures available and being developed, to improve energy efficiency for both the existing fleet and next generation of vessels.
- Meeting the marine air pollution challenge – IMO Sulphur Cap 2020 and beyond.
- A balanced programme which features keynotes, panel discussions, case studies, data and analysis, and product showcases.
- Significant networking opportunities during coffee, lunch and cocktail reception.
