Sustainable dry bulk shipping solutions in focus at INTERCARGO forum

(Posted on 17/11/23)

As shipping continues its journey to decarbonisation, INTERCARGO will host a special forum in Athens on 23rd November, entitled ‘Solutions for Sustainable Dry Bulk Shipping’.

Supported by @TECHNAVA and with an introduction from INTERCARGO Chairman Dimitris Fafalios, the event incorporates perspectives from a wide range of industry sectors including ship design, shipbuilding, engines, fuels, technology, and chartering.

INTERCARGO provides a forum where dry bulk shipowners, managers and operators are kept informed about and can discuss topics such as safety and quality in ship operations, with a focus on operational efficiency and the protection of the marine environment, while the Association also represents its members’ views at the International Maritime Organization as well other industry fora.

The Association now represents about a third of the global dry bulk fleet in deadweight terms, after reaching a new historic high at the end of August this year.

The event will be moderated by Intercargo Technical Committee Vice-Chairman, Dimitris Monioudis. Presentations include:

•   “Our Approach to Net Zero Society,” by Takeshi Mashima, General Manager (Technical) Nihon Shipyard UK Ltd

•   “WinGD X-DF for alternative fuels: A breakthrough for bulkers,” by Carmelo Cartalemi, General Manager, Head of Global Sales, and Marcel Ott, General Manager, Application Engineering & Documentation

•   “Tailored solutions for bulk carriers,” by Peter Borgnæs, Global Head of Sales for the environmental portfolio, Heat & Gas systems, Alfa Laval Aalborg A/S , and Dimitris Kampanis, Business Development Manager, Capital Sales Business Unit Heat & Gas Systems (Marine Division) Alfa Laval Aalborg A/S

•   “EU ETS and the Commercial Impact” by Linda Kongerslev , Director – Sustainability, Oldendorff Carriers.

The Forum will take place from 6pm on Thursday, 23rd November, at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center in Athens, and will be followed by a light buffet reception.

It is open to both INTERCARGO members and invited non-members who are dry bulk ship owners, managers or operators.
