🎙️In this third episode of our First Movers podcast series, Jordan Pechie of Seaspan ULC takes us for a deep dive into the practical realities faced by companies that pioneer new fuels and technologies in shipping.🎙️ It’s now been about a year and a half since the company welcomed the first of three fully electric tugboats into its fleet, operated in British Columbia, Canada. Seaspan’s experience provides a unique window into how day-to-day work was transformed, as captains adapted to operating the (very quiet!) vessels without the usual cues provided by the engines’ sound and vibration. Jordan’s testimony also reveals important lessons for the rest of the industry. Crews were involved throughout, with captains feeding into the vessel design from the outset. And although the project didn’t receive a single dollar of government funding, it was made possible because of the shared vision of the project partners and clients – and because it made technical and financial sense. This is one of Jordan’s main messages: the importance for first movers to develop their green projects around their own operational needs and constraints, and to anchor their decisions in real world data.

Maria Skipper Schwenn, Director of Environmental Regulatory Affairs, Group Commercial at Bunker Holding A/S will be speaking at the Middle East Bunkering Convention taking place in Dubai 3-5 February 2025. Maria will speak in session two: It’s complicated: The ramifications of global and regional regulations. Speakers will discuss the obligations – and costs – placed on the industry in order to comply with recent and upcoming regulations, such as CII, the EU Emissions Trading System, and FuelEU Maritime. A global carbon levy and fuel standard are also on the table for discussion at the International Maritime Organization. This session will seek clarification on the ramifications for the global shipping sector of new regulations and legislation and will examine the role of the bunker industry in navigating the regulatory maze. Will regulation be an effective driver for shipping’s decarbonisation and should incentivisation also be part of the mix? • View the programme here ➔ https://lnkd.in/dvNr-u9h • Register to attend here ➔ https://lnkd.in/enBucCTp #MEBC25 #Dubai #shipping #bunkering #deglobalisation #decarbonisation

Haitham Al Tamimi, Lead Business Development, Marine Services and Shipping at SOHAR Port and Freezone will be speaking at the Middle East Bunkering Convention taking place in Dubai 3-5 February 2025. He will speak in session three: Local knowledge: The outlook for Fujairah and Middle East bunker markets. This session will offer a ‘deep dive’ into the challenges and opportunities for these important marine fuel markets and provide some perspectives on what the future looks like for them from a short- and medium-term perspective. Speakers will share insights on the region’s refining, energy transportation and storage landscape and they will also look at the changing dynamics in regional shipping, supply and trading. • View the programme here ➔ https://lnkd.in/dvNr-u9h • Register to attend here ➔ https://lnkd.in/enBucCTp #MEBC25 #Dubai #shipping #bunkering #deglobalisation #decarbonisation

Tomorrow the first (full) working week of the year will start. A new year, filled with #opportunities, #challenges, #projects and collaborations. The first key event on the agenda for C4 fuel is the #massflowmeter training during #MEBC25. After almost two weeks of reflection, relaxing and building some #LEGO, I am very much looking forward to this event, feeling both honored that Julie Louise Nielsen from StormGeo will be joining me to talk about #digital solutions and #eBDN and grateful for the continued #collaboration with the ship.energy team. ❓Do you want to start 2025 with expanding your knowledge and understanding of #MFMs and eBDNs? ❓Do you want to learn more about the do’s and don’ts of these #technologies? ❗️Then make sure to sign up for this interactive and insightful one day course on the 3rd of February. Already plans on that date? No need to panic as this one-of-a-kind MFM training will also be conducted again in Vlaardingen on the 31st of March 😅 #bunkering #buildingLEGO #energised #newyear #Dubai #transparency #digitalisation #technology #progress #ESG #CO2 #fuel #measurements

"You can't manage what you don't measure" Great to see 2024 results of our SMF Confidence Index in Offshore Energy - a snapshot of the industry's "moment-in-time" confidence levels across 12 sustainable marine fuels, incl. grey, blue and green variants. For more information on the Index, or on joining SMF Fest - an annual "by industry, for industry" gathering where the Index is revisited - get in touch on banu@uncommonconferences.com. It's the most rewarding fun you'll have at a maritime event this year. Brought to you by: uncommon conferences x ship.energy #sustainablemarinefuels #SMFFest #maritime #energy

Dr. Abdullah Sulaiman Al-Abri, Vice President – Sustainability at SOHAR Port and Freezone will be speaking at the Middle East Bunkering Convention taking place in Dubai 3-5 February 2025. Dr. Abdullah will speak in session five: Data dialogue: the ‘disrupters’ of digitalisation and AI. The first day of MEBC will conclude with a focused Q&A with leaders who are driving the digitalisation of shipping and bunkering . They will explain how digitalisation and AI are gamechangers for the industry in terms of fuel measurement and procurement, bunker planning, workflow processes and vessel efficiencies. • View the programme here ➔ https://lnkd.in/dvNr-u9h • Register to attend here ➔ https://lnkd.in/enBucCTp #MEBC25 #Dubai #shipping #bunkering #deglobalisation #decarbonisation

There is just one month to go until the start of the Middle East Bunkering Convention in Dubai. Will you be joining us? The tenth edition of MEBC will offer a unique platform for the bunker sector to reflect on the ‘here and now’ of its business and to discuss how it must evolve to be able to address the challenges, and grasp the opportunities, that make up its future. • View the programme here ➔ https://lnkd.in/dvNr-u9h • Register to attend here ➔ https://lnkd.in/enBucCTp • Introduction to Mass Flow Meters Course ➔ https://lnkd.in/e86T8YcZ #MEBC25 #Dubai #shipping #bunkering #deglobalisation #decarbonisation

Here's a research project that looks at the climate challenge from a slightly different angle: it aims to extract CO2 directly from oceans, rather than the atmosphere. As our oceans absorb about a quarter of the world's CO2 emissions, the collaboration between VTT and Mitsubishi Electric is seeking to develop direct ocean capture (DOC) technology towards commercial viability. I caught up with Antti Arasto, who leads the collaboration for VTT, who sees a 'big potential' for the technology. He explained how the project will endeavour to keep costs down and ensure scalability. 'It’s not only about the technology, but also about how you put that as part of bigger value chain, how you eventually make it into business,' he said.

Just like MFM systems are not plug and play, a #MFM course is also not plug and play. Depending on your role in the fuel value chain or engagement with the bunker process, you will need a different skillset in MFM’s. Petrospot Limited was not only the first organisation to deliver a truly independent and comprehensive course on MFM’s, they are also the only one who deliver a suitable course for all who want to know more. What an amazing honor to work with the team again on conducting this one-of-a-kind course now also in the Middle East and enhancing it with #digitalisation and #eBDN. Is Dubai not on your travelplans? Than this populair and unique course will also be offered again in the Netherlands end of March, before the #bunkerexperience. Make sure to sign up and treat yourself for #Christmas with the knowledge you need to get ready for the future of bunkering. 🎄 Julie Louise Nielsen StormGeo ship.energy #MEBC25 C4 fuel
