Chatham House Rules panel session

The energy transition: accelerate the move to net zero

• How can the industry turn green vessels into a reality?
• Facing the dilemmas:

         - sound business case versus progress in fulfilling climate ambitions

         - Wait and see or take the lead (and the cost/risk)?

         - Fuel availability and infrastructure. Which role to play

         - Energy efficiency: what do we do before the transition? Are we losing the momentum?

• How to minimise operational risks while delivering on the transition agenda
• Is the gap between ambitions and realities increasing or decreasing?
• Derisk through diversity (ammonia/electric/bio)
• Battery PSV and offshore charging: an obvious choice?

Tom Campbell, Group Logistics Manager, Capricorn Energy

Morten Sundt, Manager, Maritime operations, Logistics & Emergency Response, Equinor

Paul Love, Managing Director, Clarksons Platou (Offshore)

Navigating the energy transition: the future starts now

• The energy transition and emerging technologies across the energy & transportation industries
• Low carbon intensity fuels assessment
• Conversions, retrofits & upgrades to the installed base
• Considerations on hybridization and electrification

Marinus Jansen, Global Marine Technology Steward, Caterpillar Marine 

The offshore industry is being disrupted by decarb and data – how on earth to stay competitive?

• We´re in a radical industry shift, where all vessel owners will need to start collecting vessel data and have an understanding of their carbon intensity in order to stay relevant and 
• How to handle complexity – and be a winner – when the offshore industry being disrupted by stakeholder expectations for emission cuts, and availability of data?
• Saving cost, fuel and emissions by capturing low-hanging fruits. Finding the right solutions does not have to be costly or difficult
• Industry examples of vessel owners and energy operators using data and smart solutions to stay ahead of the curve

Sindre Stemshaug Bornstein, VP Commercial Decarbonisation, VPS

What if the green choice didn’t have a green premium? 

• The global climate crisis is forcing companies to decarbonise - but what can be done with existing vessels without major capex?
• Slow steaming is not commercially viable and does nothing for offshore vessels while stationary
• Power and load optimisation has demonstrated a 10 to 1 monetary ROI for adopters
• Example case: what we did, what we learned, and what to expect

Shane Biggi, European Sales, SailPlan

Legal issues arising from the adoption of alternative fuels

Where there is an increasing demand to build vessels which can use a range of alternative or new fuels, consideration needs to be given to how these may impact on the parties commercial and operating relationships. What are the practical and liability risks which owners and charterers need to anticipate and include when negotiating new charter parties?

Tony Concagh, Partner, Stephenson Harwood
