Shipping & The Environment Shipping is the most environmentally friendly mode of transportation and the industry has been highly proactive in its efforts to comply with a series of environmental regulations ranging from ballast water treatment, to low sulfur fuels and greenhouse emissions. What is the best way to achieve the decarbonization targets by 2030 or 2050 which is the next frontier? At present there are several proposals on the table for discussion at the IMO. They hinge on regulatory mandates, industry self-discipline and ultimately on the selection of the proper fuel. At the same time, the European Union is considering its own policies.

Fleet Renewal – Building the Ships of the Future Shipowners are called today to make fleet renewal or expansion decisions while there is no clarity or certainly on optimal fuel and engine types and vessel designs for the ships of the future.

Positioning Greece As a Maritime, Transportation & Logistics Hub Greece’s central location in the Eastern Mediterranean provides a competitive intermodal corridor for the European seaborne trade with Asia.

The Development of the Greek Shipping ClusterMr. George Pateras, President – Hellenic Chamber of Shipping; Vice-Chairman – ContShips

European Union Maritime Policy & its Effect on the European and Global Merchant Fleet Shipping is a global industry and thus subject to regulations from global regulatory organizations. At the same time, the European union is pursuing its own policies. The EU controls about 40% of the global tonnage with the Greek owned fleet accounting for more than half of this. EU policies should ensure the competitiveness of EU shipping compared to other clusters while harmonizing with those of the global organizations, thereby providing the industry with a unified and flexible regulatory context.

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.

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.
