Get Set for Workboat 2050

The Society of Maritime Industries are delighted to announce they have been confirmed as a supporting organisation of the Commercial Marine Network’s online conference series ‘Get Set for Workboat 2050’.

In partnership with Seawork and Maritime Journal, and in association with the Workboat Association, this online conference series of expert panels will navigate the waters of decarbonisation compliance in the workboat industry.

Growing pressures to decarbonise across all sectors of the marine industry mean it is more important than ever to understand the opportunities available to you, both short term and long term.

Join industry leading experts Andy Page - MD of Chartwell Marine, and Kerrie Forster - CEO of The Workboat Association, for Session 2 on 8th December 10:00 - 11:00 UTC. This session will look at the short term - 2020 to 2025: Reengining & re-fitting the fleet; improved technologies for engine efficiency to decrease emissions including Tier III diesel.
