ship.energy summit programme
Tuesday 30 - Wednesday 31 March 2021
11:00 - 14:00 (GMT) | 6 am EST | 7 pm SGT | 3 pm UAE
Shipping can no longer be a silo industry in its energy consumption, relying on ample supplies of ‘bottom of the barrel’ oil-based fuel. As the sector moves towards its mid-century GHG emission reduction targets, it will have to compete for its energy sources and propulsion technologies with other industries. It will also have to recognise and accommodate the decarbonisation ambitions and strategies of its many different stakeholders.
With this in mind, the ship.energy summit will set the scene with a review of national future energy policies as well as the corporate strategies of the key global energy players. It will consider how maritime, national and corporate regulations on decarbonisation are developing – will these regulations align or are they heading for conflict?
Programme details are updated regularly and are subject to change as new speakers are confirmed and themes developed.

Introduction/ Welcome to the ship.energy Summit 2021
Lesley Bankes-Hughes, Director of Publishing/ Executive Editor, Petrospot Ltd
SESSION 1
Setting the pace - National policy and corporate approaches to energy change
This session will seek to put shipping’s decarbonisation ambitions and potential future energy requirements in the context of a global shift to cleaner energy sources. Panellists will give an update on country and regional future energy strategies, including a significant shift to hydrogen, which may include or impact the shipping sector. The session will also look at how shipowners, energy majors, and global commodity traders are shaping their decarbonisation policies.

SESSION 2
Making change happen - The role of regulation and collaboration in decarbonisation
This session will consider how regulators, legislators and industry bodies are seeking to establish global and regional frameworks to guide shipping’s energy transition. Is such regulation being put in place quickly enough and on a harmonised basis or are we seeing differences in approach that could hamper or fragment the decarbonisation process? Panellists will also look at other instruments being used to drive decarbonisation and sustainability, such as corporate ESG policies and market-based measures.

SESSION 3
Putting on the pressure – First session: Supply chain stakeholders have their say on the energy transition
The pace at which shipping gets to zero is also dependent on collaboration and the exchange of ideas, knowledge and skills between sector stakeholders and also on a cross-industry basis – shipping will draw on the expertise gained in clean tech industries within aviation and domestic power generation. The sustainability ambitions and strategies of a range of stakeholders along shipping’s supply chain will also bring pressure to bear on the sector. Across two separate sessions, panellists will represent and reflect the concerns and aspirations of these stakeholders in terms of maritime’s decarbonisation.
Panel discussion:
Jesse Fahnestock, Project Director, First Movers Initiatives, Global Maritime Forum/ Getting to Zero Coalition

SESSION 4
Putting on the pressure – Second session: Supply chain stakeholders have their say on the energy transition
This session will continue the debate on the maritime supply chain and the energy transition. A new panel of experts drawn from different parts of the supply chain will offer their respective perspectives on shipping’s decarbonisation and will also pick up on some of the key issues raised in the first session.

SESSION 5
Footing the bill - Funding decarbonisation and making it pay
While technology and new fuels will deliver shipping’s decarbonisation, such innovation on a global scale will require major – and sustained – investment. Initiatives such as the Poseidon Principles have already drawn attention to the role financial institutions can play in shipping’s energy ‘switchover’, and this session will discuss who will provide this critical funding for new tech, fuels and vessels. Importantly, as owners and operators continue to operate in an era of tight margins panellists will consider when and how money can be made from operating cleaner – and likely much more expensive – newbuilds.

SESSION 6
Smart thinking: Harnessing the power of data
As shipping grapples with the challenges of decarbonisation, the sector is also being urged to recognise the operational transparency and cost benefits that digitalisation can deliver. Panellists in this session will discuss the apparently transformative power of data in relation to shipping and consider whether digitalisation really can facilitate and accelerate the industry’s march to net zero.

SESSION 7
Building blocks of the future: creating a decarbonisation infrastructure
The final session of the conference will consider the key roles to be played by shipyards, class societies and ports in creating a future robust operational and energy supply infrastructure for a decarbonised shipping sector. Panellists will also look at how a circular economy model can contribute to shipping’s GHG emission ambitions.
