BLUE SHIPPING
S U M M I T 2 0 1 2
Why Protecting the Environment
makes Good Business Sense?
Thursday 31 May 2012
Divani Apollon Palace
Athens - Greece
We are within the implementation of the MARPOL regulations. It seems that
time is catching up with the industry and perhaps soon it will be too late.
These regulations are changing the competitive environment in the maritime
industry and it is vital to have as much information as possible, because
these changes bring about very important and hard to answer questions.
What will the costs of implementing environmental technologies be for
the shipping industry? Will they be subsidized? Or will shipping companies
have to take the strain? How much should the shipping industry pay for their
emissions compared to other industries? Who is leading this environmental
race to the finish line? What is the best way to finance these new
technologies? How to trade carbon credits?
This conference is a challenge and opportunity for all the players in the
maritime industry chain to come together and decide the future of one of the
biggest changes to the shipping world. They have to give priority to
environmental protection and support initiatives that promote environmental
responsibility and innovation.
The 2nd Blue Shipping Summit is once again gathering the leading policy
makers, politicians, shipowners, shipbuilders, marine equipment
manufacturers, financiers, investors, charterers, ship brokers,
entrepreneurs, environmentalists, journalists, and other members of the
international maritime community in order to learn, discuss and debate all
contemporary and urgent environmental themes, which are of vital importance
to the future of the maritime industry.
This will take place in an open stimulated and free flowing ambiance, with
open and informal discussions which are the hallmark of the Mare Forum
formula.
Looking forward to welcoming you in Athens,
Jannis

Session 1
Analyzing the
Progress of the Environmental Regulation |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
- What are the developments
of IMO and EU regarding the environmental regulations?
- What are the benefits of
IMO and EU working together on the best implementation
strategies, rather then separate?
- What can we take away from
other industries’ shift to lowering emissions?
- How can we harmonize the
international shipping community for a more sustainable shipping
and operations?
- How feasible are the goals
set by regulators and what are the long-term implications of
these regulations for the maritime industry?
- What are the benefits of a
global regulation scheme network to reach an international
solution as opposed to the European network alone?
- What are the pros and cons
of emissions trading?
- What difficulties does the
emissions trading present to the shipowner, and what are the
hidden costs of doing this?

Innovations on
Air Emission Solutions technologies
Same goals –
different approaches
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
- Emissions target for 2020:
is it realistic? What will it take to achieve that goal?
- The Zero emission ship
design.
- What are the tried and
tested emissions reducing technologies on the market today?
- How much do they cost? Can
we afford them?
- What are the benefits of
installing them before the regulations take place?
- LNG Analysis: is it the new
era for LNG fueled engines? LNG fuel as an alternative energy
source for ships and its impact on the reduction of greenhouse
gas emissions?
- Lower sulfur fuels vs. use
of leaner engine technologies: low sulfur fuel savings, benefits
and reduction of your emissions by installing scrubbers on
newbuild and existing ships?
- Examples of ships that
already installed scrubbers and their experience
- How can we avoid achieved
lower emissions and not making these credits just another
financial instrument or commodity?
- Is there news from the
world of clean indexes?
