23 October - 24 October
Hilton Rotterdam Hotel
We are living in a time of flux, and the global shipping and bunker industries are having to respond to geopolitical challenges, market volatility, tightening environmental regulation, technological innovation, and a widening marine fuel pool – all whilst trying to maintain a competitive edge.
Covering core and recent developments in the regulatory and commercial landscape for marine biofuels and taking account of operational feedback on the use of these fuels, this popular course, which featured for the first time at ARACON 2024, offers a focused, timely and highly useful overview of the subject.
This half-day course on 22 October will be relevant to suppliers and buyers, as well as those stakeholders whose jobs require an understanding of the regulatory, operational and commercial factors to be considered in the use of marine biofuels.
Taught by industry experts, Charlotte Røjgaard, Global Marine Fuels Director at Bureau Veritas, and Gunnar Kjeldsen, Biofuels Development Manager at Bunker Holding, the course will also give ample opportunity for discussion and delegate Q&A.
