Entering the 5th Annual LNG Bunkering Summit North America Summit (November 18 – 20), now is the time for you to discuss the future of the LNG pathway in maritime with your North American peers.
With a new US administration signalling that LNG is a priority, this is a critical point for your industry. Bringing about great uncertainty as to what cost implications this will have on the industry, alongside IMO global regulations being set out that affect the viability of LNG in the future, the summit is needed to discuss the preparations the sector must make together, and understand truly how LNG can be used in the future and how companies can be compliant. Also, as shipbuilding faces new pressure and bunkering infrastructure lags, urgent questions remain around fuel strategy, compliance, and supply chain readiness.
We continue to be the only event to unite every major stakeholder within the LNG and marine fuel supply chain to discuss the decarbonization and sustainability of the maritime industry in North America. With forward-looking new discussions on everything from US policy predictions to small operator perspectives on LNG infrastructure to viability of alternative fuels outside of LNG, it provides the platform for collaboration and partnerships that will enable the industry to reduce the risk of non-compliance.
With industry-leading partners already on board and an incredible community built up over ten years of running the Global Summit, this inaugural event is not to be missed. Join us to discuss the future of the industry and gather in one place with the major players from the entire supply chain: Shipping companies, Law-makers, Ports, Terminals, Fuel Providers, Banks, Classification Societies, Marine Engineers, Shipyards, Technology Providers and many more!
Agenda Themes Include:
Regulations: Receive updates on regulatory developments from government officials from across the region and learn of new opportunity and how to prepare for the future appropriately
Decision making: Hear predictions, forecasts and future trends to help understand commercial viability and suitability for LNG now and into the future
Finance and funding: Discover alternative finance options and successful strategies to secure your investment
Port perspectives: Avoid project pitfalls through understanding common challenges global ports overcame from planning through to operation
Regional Opportunities: Hear from projects from all across the region - Canada, US, Central America and the Caribbean – on plans for the future, ongoing projects or operational facilities
Shipping perspectives: Review alternative methods of Marine Fuel and discover how major shipping companies approached their conversion and vessel options
LNG supply chain: Learn how North American ports are realizing their supply chain management process and associated LNG Infrastructure challenges
Safety and Training: Discuss potential challenges for machinery operation, risk management and safety and learn how to develop, up-skill and manage your future workforce
Good for meeting people in the industry, the quality was good with concrete and specific examples presented.
Extremely interesting and a great opportunity to maintain contacts and meet new ones.
This is a must attend conference if you are working for a shipping company operating vessels that use LNG or if you are looking at alternative fuels for future newbuilding and want to learn more
This event continues to be the most fun and educating of them all.
