ALJ Group invites you to join efforts for a greener maritime future at the 5th Decarbonizing Shipping Forum in Rotterdam on June 26th-27th!
A true shift to a sustainable and carbon-neutral shipping industry not only requires innovative technical solutions but also a shift in the mindsets of people who are going through this transformation. The decarbonization agenda is becoming increasingly more ambitious and it requires to explore new ways of cutting on emission in day-to-day ship operations as well as long-term solutions that would bring about a lasting positive impact. It also requires new forward-thinking talents and joint corporate efforts starting with top-level management. Therefore, we are offering a platform to discuss new technology combined with human element and what decarbonizing means to the shipping industry from all points of view.
Top business executives, policymakers, innovators, and technology experts will dive into debates during conference sessions and networking breaks in Rotterdam – don’t miss your chance to join them!

01

Decarbonizing the Shipping Industry

- Recent Developments and Regulations:
• Recent developments in global shipping markets, including market trends, trade patterns, and economic factors influencing the industry.
• Latest environmental regulations and their implications on the shipping industry, such as IMO's MARPOL Annex VI and EU MRV.
• Social responsibility initiatives in the shipping industry, focusing on sustainability, community engagement, and corporate governance.

- Decarbonization Strategies and Technologies:
• Collaborative efforts among industry stakeholders, governments, and NGOs to promote sustainable practices and reduce emissions.
• Adoption of emission-reducing technologies, including scrubbers, LNG propulsion, wind-assisted propulsion, and alternative fuels.
• Investment in research and development for zero-emission ships, hydrogen fuel cells, battery-electric propulsion, and renewable energy sources.

- Future Fuels and Energy Sources:
• Exploration of alternative fuels such as LNG, LPG, Methanol, Biofuels, Hydrogen, and Ammonia to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
• Development of hybrid electric solutions combining conventional engines with battery storage or fuel cells for improved efficiency.
• Infrastructure challenges and investment opportunities in fuel supply chains, bunkering facilities, and port infrastructure for alternative fuels.

- Sustainable and Innovative Solutions:
• Implementation of energy-efficient technologies, including hull design optimization, waste heat recovery, and LED lighting.
• Adoption of ballast water treatment systems and exhaust gas cleaning systems to minimize environmental impact.
• Emphasis on sustainable ship recycling practices, circular economy initiatives, and eco-friendly shipbuilding materials.

02

Digitalization and Efficiency in Shipping

- Digital Transformation:
• Integration of digital twins, IoT sensors, and data analytics for real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and performance optimization.
• Application of blockchain technology for transparent supply chain management, smart contracts, and secure transactions.
• Utilization of AI algorithms for route optimization, predictive maintenance, and autonomous navigation.

- Smart Shipping and Connectivity:
• Deployment of smart sensors and automation technologies in ports for efficient cargo handling and vessel operations.
• Enhancement of satellite communication for remote monitoring, fleet management, and safety communications.
• Implementation of cybersecurity measures, including network segmentation, encryption, and intrusion detection systems.

- Autonomous and Remote Operations:
• Development of autonomous and remotely operated ships, including regulatory frameworks, safety protocols, and technological advancements.
• Utilization of maritime simulators for training and testing autonomous vessel operations in various scenarios.
• Advancements in collision avoidance systems, sensor fusion, and remote monitoring for safe and efficient autonomous navigation.

03

Ship Design, Retrofit, and Maintenance

- Ship Design and Retrofit:
• Innovations in shipbuilding materials, such as lightweight composites and eco-friendly coatings, for improved fuel efficiency and environmental performance.
• Retrofitting solutions for existing vessels, including hull modifications, propulsion upgrades, and emission control systems installation.
• Application of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations and model testing for hull design optimization and performance evaluation.

- Energy Efficiency Measures:
• Optimization of engine performance through advanced engine management systems, fuel injection technology, and exhaust gas recirculation.
• Implementation of efficient lighting systems, variable frequency drives, and energy recovery systems for onboard equipment.
• Integration of wind-assisted ship propulsion technologies, such as sails, rotors, and kite systems, for additional power generation and fuel savings.

- Sustainable Solutions:
• Adoption of sustainable ship recycling practices, including green ship dismantling facilities and circular economy initiatives.
• Investment in wind-assisted propulsion systems, such as Flettner rotors and kite sails, for reducing fuel consumption and emissions.
• Application of selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology for NOx emissions control and compliance with environmental regulations.
