We are pleased to support the IBIA Annual Convention in Athens, 5 – 7 November at Athens Marriott Hotel. With two-thirds already sold, we are pleased to see so many of IBIA’s members and industry will be joining the Convention. It’s shaping up to be a remarkable event, so if you haven’t booked yet, don’t miss out on this opportunity!
The agenda features top executives and industry experts covering critical topics that affect the shipping and bunker/marine fuel industry, including regulatory updates, industry assessments from leading shipping associations, insights from shipowners and bunker sellers, with a focus on alternative fuels and the upcoming 2025 Med ECA.
The Convention also includes the opportunity of two training courses. The ISO8217:2024 course has been highly successful in providing a comprehensive understanding of the latest marine fuel quality standards. It is particularly relevant for very low sulphur fuels, biodiesel (FAME and HVO), and blends of biodiesel with residual fuels, The Future Fuels is an in-depth course which will provide a comprehensive overview of current and emerging marine fuels, focusing on their operational challenges, hazards, and on-board safety aspects. Industry specialists will offer expert insights into LNG, Methanol, Biofuels, and Ammonia, exploring their future market potential and compliance with evolving regulations.
