Greek British Shipping Forum 2021

The first digital Greek British Shipping Forum will explore how Maritime London members are supporting the shipping industry, as it moves to comprehend, monitor and utilise technology to ensure compliance with the IMO GHG Emissions regulations and international sanctions regimes.

The event will consist of two interactive and live sessions - on Sanctions and on Decarbonisation, taking place on Wednesday, June 16th at 14:00 and 15:30 Greek time (EEST) [12:00 and 13:30 UK time (BST)] respectively - with a networking break in the middle and after the second session. Attendees will also have the opportunity to visit the Expo area, which will remain open until 20:00 EEST (18:00 BST) on Friday, June 18th.

Focus: With the June IMO MEPC, 76 amendments due to come into force from 2023 onwards mandating efficiency improvements for vessels over 400GT, shipowners do not have long to understand and implement the necessary changes to their fleets to ensure compliance. The panel will explore the emerging regulatory and non-regulatory incentives for emissions cuts in shipping, consider ship efficiency regulations, emissions trading, industry incentives, the forthcoming transition to alternative fuels and the knock on effects on markets, party relationships and contracts.
