        Wind Assisted Shipping - 'The Blue Glue'

        Wind Assisted Propulsion System (WAPS) technologies are getting more and more attention in the shipping industry, being one of the few readily available and scalable technologies to decarbonise shipping operations. However, decision makers are hesitant to fully embrace the potential of using the natural forces of the wind in their operations. Reasons for this is the lack of reliable data on its savings potential as well as issues with integration of the technology with conventional ship propulsion (European Commission, 2024).

      • Energy transition and sustainability in the dredging sector

        11:00 - 11:45
        Energy transition and sustainability in the dredging sector

        Dredging vessels are uniquely complex workboats, characterised by high installed power within a compact footprint. They are often deployed globally, operating near coastlines or inland waterways.

        The mission-critical equipment onboard places significant demands on the power supply and is subject to continuous load fluctuations. These factors present additional challenges for decarbonising this vessel type, particularly in terms of operational autonomy, energy requirements, and bunkering infrastructure.

        Sailing into the Future: The Role of Hardware-in-the-Loop in Ship Electrification

        The electrification of ships is reshaping the maritime industry, driven by the need for cleaner, more efficient energy systems. Early shipboard electrical architectures relied on AC systems, which posed limitations in terms of flexibility and energy efficiency. The shift toward DC-based systems has opened new possibilities, enabling better integration of renewable sources, batteries, and advanced propulsion technologies.

        Electrostatic application of PPG hull coatings

        Ship owners and shipyards can reduce the environmental impact of their operations in multiple ways. Hull management has emerged as an effective tactic to minimize fuel consumption, lower emissions and enhance overall vessel performance. At the forefront of these advancements are low-friction hull coatings combined with electrostatic application process. This powerful combination contributes to reduced fuel consumption and lower greenhouse gas emissions while enabling sustainable drydock and maintenance practices.

        Today’s maritime executives have taken the first crucial steps toward sustainability by improving industry efficiency and exploring alternative fuels. However, the journey to net-zero emissions by 2050 will largely be driven by a new generation. What insights, lessons, and practical advice can seasoned maritime leaders share with the next wave of maritime professionals?

        17:00 - 18:00
        Designing for the Carbon Price: A Practical Decarbonisation Playbook for Retrofits and Newbuilds

         

        The combined force of FuelEU Maritime and the EU ETS has rewired fleet economics. Furthermore, the anticipated IMO’s mid-term measure GFI will expand this force. These aren’t separate compliance boxes but a system that puts a rising, real cost on every tonne of CO₂e. This talk distils our decarbonisation playbook into a concise, practical framework owners, yards and financiers can apply—starting from a blank page, defining operational, commercial and physical boundaries, and avoiding "bolt-on” fixes that store up costly redesigns later. We’ll show how to align operational profiles with the right fuel and powertrain choices, and how to sequence strategic retrofits to extend asset life and protect ROI.
