Marine Fuels Webinar Week, be sure to join us
LNG. Ammonia. Methanol. Biofuels
Beginning Monday 21 February, Riviera will be holding a series of daily webinars focused on LNG, ammonia, methanol and biofuels. Each webinar is technically focused, meticulously researched and speaks to key industry challenges, headaches and opportunities.
Our webinars are designed to strike the right balance between transmission of key information and interaction with the expert panel assembled. Those who register will also receive copies of webinar materials post event.
Our discussions are focused, cover the advertised subjects, and deliver registrants actionable insights.
Registration is free, please sign up below.
To guarantee a position on one of the webinar panels, as either a premium partner or sponsored presenter and panellist, please contact Tom Kenny. A number of positions are made available throughout our webinar weeks for our commercial partners on a first come, first served basis.
Please join us for any or all of the following:
The case for adopting LNG in the next five yearsDate: Monday 21 February - Time: 09:00-09:45 GMT |
The immediate appeal of LNG as a marine fuel, whether for newbuild or retrofit, rests on its availability, bunkering infrastructure and regulatory framework. Its mid- to longer-term attraction includes the potential to switch to cleaner fuels - such as biogas and synthetic LNG - and the possibility that it could be used to produce hydrogen for vessel operations. The fuel does have its critics. Methane slip related to inefficient combustion of LNG in engines remains an ongoing and hotly debated issue although there have been technological improvements to mitigate its impact.
Join us as we discuss
-
Advantages, limitations and risks
-
Operational experience and safety issues
-
Biogas and drop-in fuels
-
Methane slip in 2027
-
A primary or secondary fuel
-
Whether the future of LNG as a marine fuel is producing hydrogen

The case for adopting ammonia in the next five yearsDate: Tuesday 22 February - Time: 09:00-09:45 GMT |
Should vessel operators be preparing to run their fleets on ammonia? Newbuilding proponents include vessel operators Mitsui OSK Lines (MOL), K Line and Anglo-Eastern. Retrofit projects are underway which will see vessels operating dual-fuel LNG engines switching to an ammonia blend and later pure ammonia. The case for adopting ammonia as a marine fuel needs to be weighed against the fuel’s toxicity and handling requirements; compatibility with the IGF and IGC code; availability; ammonia slip; and the investment required for suitable tank and supply systems versus running on LNG as a marine fuel.
Join us as we discuss
- Ammonia as an alternative to HFO and LNG
- Retrofit and advanced engine development considerations
- Compatibility with the IGF and IGC code
- Classification design criteria
- Toxicity and safety issues
- The economics of running an ammonia-fuelled vessel
Panellists:
Andreas Schmid, General Manager, Technology Development, WinGD
Christian Berg, Director Bunkering Market Development Scandinavia, New Markets, Yara Clean Ammonia
Jakob Steffensen, Director, Innovation Lead, DFDS

The case for adopting methanol in the next five yearsDate: Wednesday 23 February - Time: 09:00-09:45 GMT |
Watch now |
Current methanol-fuelled projects span container vessels, bulk carriers, and tankers as well as dual-fuel machinery projects, fuel cells and first approvals for operating boilers on methanol. Maersk’s US$1.4 billion investment in in up to a dozen 16,000 TEU methanol-fuelled vessels is a massive vote of confidence likely to stimulate further near-term development. Challenges to adoption include the greater storage space required onboard owing to methanol’s low energy content as well as the fuel’s toxicity and availability.
Join us as we discuss
- Newbuild and retrofit considerations
- Powering and propulsion
- Supply chain and availability
- Fuel storage, handling and power conversion systems
- Bio-methanol for containerships
- Methanol: the low flashpoint fuel
Panellists:
Ayça Yalcin, Director Market Development, Methanex
Chris Chatterton, Chief Operating Officer, Methanol Institute

The case for adopting biofuels in the next five yearsDate: Thursday 24 February - Time: 14:00-14:45 GMT |
Watch now |
The maritime industry’s appetite for biofuels is reflected in marine engine development and successful sea-going trials of both biofuel blends and pure biofuels. CBH Group and Oldendorff Carriers Australia’s first biofuel-powered grain ship is preparing to set sail while Maersk Tankers and BP have completed a successful test of biofuel as a drop-in-fuel with no modification to the engine or infrastructure. In 2021, CSL tested biodiesel on half of its entire fleet reporting a a 23% drop in CO2 emissions versus MGO.
Join us as we discuss
- Adopting and adapting engine and fuel systems for new biofuels
- Establishing and scaling up the marine biofuel supply chain
- Prevailing standards and regulation
- Reliability and performance
- The advantages of HFO-compatible drop-in biofuels
- Risks and rewards over a five-year horizon
Panellists:
Yousef El Bagoury, Naval Architect, CSL Group
Michael Banning, Technical Consultant Fuel Specialist and Surveyor, Exponent International
Pierre Poitras, Technical Consultant, Conidia Bioscience
