Emissions implications training workshop

6 MAY 2024 - EMSA

The good, bad and ugly of emission regulation – from risk to opportunity

Regulation is increasingly complex, goal-based and ambiguous. Join us to dive into the issues in an afternoon briefing and workshop to get you across the following key topics:

• The most impactful emission regulation in the near term,
• The implications by shipping segment and trade,
• Decision making tools and tips to navigate them successfully.

Tutor: Martin Crawford-Brunt

Martin has more than 25 years of varied experience across the maritime and shipping industry. He has developed a rather unique blend of regulatory, technical, digital and commercial skills and insights across all major shipping segments.

As CEO of RightShip, he led their digital transformation and software development project to improve reliability, safety and reduce emissions across the supply chains of more than 60 major charterers in wet and dry.

As emissions lead and council member of The Baltic Exchange, he has built environmental metrics, calculators and heatmaps. These assist commercial decision makers in understanding the impact and cost of emissions in ocean freight.

Martin is an expert at simplifying complex regulation and is often consulted on emission reduction, safety improvement and benchmarking projects.
