SAFETY – MOVING TOWARDS A ZERO INCIDENT FUTURE

Shipping is vital to the global supply chain, yet remains one of the most hazardous industries in the world. There are an increasing number of incidents and seafarer fatalities, also with significant high cost asset damage and environmental pollution claims. There is a need for stronger cooperation in the industry, and a sustained programme that is focused on leadership, showing care for the wellbeing of seafarers, and preventing major incidents from happening. The panel will discuss the opportunities, and the importance of safety in enabling the future sustainability of the shipping industry and in improving its business performance.

THE HUMAN FACTOR – Recruiting, Competence Building & The Welfare Of Seafarers

Geopolitical events are presenting a number of operational challenges to the shipping industry and its seafarers who frequently find themselves on the front line. Seafarers are the backbone of the shipping industry - as we all witnessed during the Covid-19 pandemic - and the issues of recruitment, competence building, retention and welfare remain core challenges as shipping companies need to ensure the long-term availability of seafarers. Adding to the challenge is also the situation with on shore personnel, as the shipping industry competes with other industries for the attraction of proper talent.

DESIGNING SHIPS OF THE FUTURE – Cutting Edge Technologies

Decarbonisation is currently the biggest challenge the shipping industry faces. IMO is taking the lead in tackling GHG emissions and setting the targets. Many parties are aiming for net-zero by 2050. The current ship design which is based on fossil fuels is inadequate to achieve this and we need to have ships designed for the future, especially adapted for zero-carbon or carbon neutral fuels. The industry is striving hard to achieve this, and the efforts put in by the Japanese industry in developing cutting edge technologies are showcased.

 

Presentation by: Dr. M. Abdul Rahim, Corporate Officer, Managing Director for Europe and Africa, ClassNK

 

FLEET RENEWAL – A Necessity For Competitiveness & Decarbonization Despite The Uncertainties?

What are the factors going into fleet renewal in today’s environment against the backdrop of uncertainties regarding regulations and fuels? What are the viewpoints of charterers, financiers, shareholders, investors and the broader community? What is the risk for obsolescence due to technological advancements and fuel developments? To what extent is vessel modernity and efficiency a major competitive advantage or drawback? All these are major issues going into the decision-making process of shipping companies as they have been striving to ensure their long term competitiveness.
