NAVIGATING THROUGH INDUSTRY TRANSFORMATIONGreen Shipping – Technology – Fleet Renewal – Implications for Shipping Companies and Investors

The pandemic has accelerated the pace and extent of transformation the shipping industry is going through. Shipping companies are called to make critical decisions to ensure their viability and competitiveness. Environmental regulations mandate the timetable and emission targets the industry has to comply with. Technology has revolutionized operational and commercial performance but has not yet provided the answer as to what is the optimal engine or fuel for fleet renewal. At the same time, issues related to Sustainability, Human Resources and Governance are among the factors charterers look at in choosing their business partners. This topic covers Green Shipping, Technology, Sustainability and more and can provide for a discussion on the hot, practical and immediate challenges the industry is facing today, issues that every owner small or big has to face and address. This panel will enable you to discuss corporate strategy beyond sector trends, touching upon all major industry topics, as highlighted above. Shipping is going through a rapid phase of transformation and leaders like the ones on the panel play a pivotal role moving the industry forward.

OFFSHORE WIND ENERGY – AN EMERGING FRONTIERCapturing Opportunities

The quest for Alternative, Renewable & Sustainable Energy Sources turns to the construction of wind farms in deeper waters, as higher wind speeds offshore translate into higher power generation at competitive costs. There has been strong investment interest in the sector with several projects already announced around the world, including a $400 million investment in building a 4,000 megawatts offshore wind and onshore renewable energy capacity in New York. As of 2020, floating wind turbines for deeper waters are in the early phase of development and deployment which opens up significant opportunities in this new area for the energy and maritime industries.
