8 - 9 June 2011, Athens, Greece

Please note that the original dates of the 26-27 May 2011 have now been changed to the 8-9 June 2011

Overview

In recent years the industry has been through a commercially unprecedented period and been subject to major regulatory change. Both commercial and regulatory influences have presented many technical challenges and many more lay ahead.

Operators are looking to future-proof their new designs for potential new technologies, but this later benefit must be traded against initial cost outlay. The level of automation on board is also an area of development, how much should the crew be directly responsible for? Concern for the security of the ship, its crew and cargo is also now becoming a major design driver. Environmental regulation is also moving forward with the revision to MARPOL Annex VI placing further restrictions on emissions of NOx and SOx. The development of the IMO Energy Efficiency Design Index is aimed at stimulating technical innovation in propulsive efficiency as the industry strives to reduce its CO2 emissions.
