The Motorship Propulsion & Emissions Conference 2012

Gas Fuelled Ships Conference 2012
This will be the 3rd Gas Fuelled Ships Conference, held in association with The Motorship, for architects, shipyards, designers, shipowners, ship managers, agents, classification societies and manufacturers coming together to discuss and exchange ideas on the use of LNG as a fuel for ships. Increasingly tough environmental regulations mean that further investment to reduce emissions is needed now. However, green issues and environmental legislation potentially increase costs; switching to cleaner fuels could be the solution and, with an abundant supply of natural gas, LNG is becoming the most promising maritime fuel. LNG is price-competitive with fuel oils but investment in the gas supply chain is needed to encourage wider use by shipping. Changing to alternative fuels also brings about other areas for development such as ship architecture and the safety aspects for storage and handling of gas on board ships.

GreenPort Congress 2012
Governments and legislators around the world view ports and terminal as critical infrastructure assets. Their ability to ‘go green’ by reducing their carbon footprint and by being more sensitive to environmental considerations is vital to future success.
The GreenPort Congress will provide decision makers with a meeting place to both learn about and discuss the latest in sustainable environmental practice that will enable them to effectively implement these changes.
The emphasis of the Congress will be on highlighting innovation in equipment and technology whilst illustrating practical solutions through case studies.
