ARACON is the longest-running and biggest bunkering conference in the Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp region. Its no-nonsense conference programme attracts all the main bunker suppliers and barging companies in the ARA and Northwest Europe as well as dozens of European shipowners and managers.
The Marine Energy Transition Forum 2024 will take a granular look at what the energy transition means to the maritime sector, by exploring how fuel and technology choices will be influenced by vessel trades and routes. The discussions at the Forum will also be informed by changes in global and regional environmental mandates and legislation, the availability of finance to deliver shipping’s energy and transition, and the impact of digitalisation on vessel and voyage optimisation.
As always, a focal point of this year’s event will be the pivotal roles of ports and terminal operators in supporting ships and trade flows as the maritime industry moves inexorably towards a net zero future.
The hugely popular BunkerExperience course is coming to Athens. Based on the classroom and practical elements of the well-established three-day BunkerExperience course held every spring and autumn in Vlaardingen, Rotterdam, this two-day version retains the unbeatable combination of theory and real-life bunkering experience with hands-on laboratory work and barge visit, while tailoring the training to reflect the bunkering sector in Greece and the Eastern Mediterranean.
This 1-day practical Biofuels course provides an overview of the possible application and use of biofuels in the marine distillate and residual fuel oils market, such as described in the new ISO 8217:2024 standard for distillate and residual fuel oils. The course includes a theory session in the morning, followed by hands-on practical laboratory work in the afternoon.
Sustainable Marine Fuel Fest (formerly known as Gas Fest) is a unique ‘for industry, by industry’ forum that explores all marine fuels and technologies that will support shipping on its decarbonisation pathway. This inspiring and highly collaborative gathering will bring together key stakeholders across the marine fuel value system to align on decarbonisation strategies, stress-test policy and regulation as well as uncover the rationale for investment decisions in various fuels and technologies.
A three-day inclusive, intensive bunker course, with a perfect mix of theory in the morning and real practice in the afternoon. Starting with a welcome dinner on Monday, followed by a Barge Day, a Lab Day and a Port Day, the course includes a great evening programme for superb networking opportunities. This is a very successful course designed for newcomers, as well as those who have been in the industry for many years, but have not yet had a chance to experience real-life, hands-on bunkering.
This fully independent, professional one day training course provides a timely practical introduction to the whys and wherefores of mass flow metering systems, including the regulatory landscape that is making their use mandatory, insights into how they work and the benefits they bring, and how to decide which system to choose.
This course is IMarEST CPD Accredited
This world-renowned five-day intensive residential bunker course covers technical, operational, commercial, financial and legal aspects of bunkering, including case studies, discussion groups and practical demonstrations. This course is also celebrated for its networking in the beautiful university city of Oxford.
In light of the recent publication of ISO 8217:2024 as well as upcoming environmental regulations which will significantly impact the shipping and marine fuel sectors, Petrospot is running two training workshops on 23 July at the office of Norton Rose Fulbright LLP in London.
Following the huge success of the inaugural Maritime Week Las Palmas in 2022, Petrospot is returning to Gran Canaria in June 2024 to bring together the bunker, energy, shipping and maritime industries to showcase this dynamic logistics hub and the wide range of maritime services provided by the port of Las Palmas to ships sailing to and from Africa, Europe and the Americas. The flagship conference will be complemented by site visits designed to introduce the key maritime services on offer in the Canary Islands to a wider international audience.
Maritime Week Americas 2024 returns to Panama. The week-long series of key maritime events, includes the MWA Conference – the largest and most popular bunkering conference in the Americas – plus bunker training courses, a maritime services exhibition, and some exhilarating Latin American-themed networking.
This year’s ship.energy summit will consider how companies should formulate their decarbonisation plans and then put them into action, with a particular focus on how to evaluate which technologies and energy sources are best for them, how to access finance and support for projects, retrofits and fleet renewal, and how to ‘futureproof’ their workforce for employment in a post-fossil fuel environment.
As always, the ship.energy summit will look at the industry’s progress on decarbonisation with reference to case studies and real projects – whether they be at the start-up stage or further along the road to decarbonisation – and it will include a focus on initiatives in Iberia.
Portugal Shipping Week 2024 will showcase Portugal as a global shipping and maritime logistics centre and offer foreign shipowners and representatives from every maritime discipline a unique and exciting opportunity to meet, network and develop important new commercial relationships with the leaders of the Portuguese maritime sector.
Conferences, training courses and some spectacular networking, Portugal Shipping Week will be one of the maritime highlights of the year, packed with key speakers from the highest level in shipping, ports and government.
Now in its ninth year, the Middle East Bunkering Convention (MEBC) returns to Dubai in February to offer expert comment and informed debate about the issues and challenges impacting the global marine fuel sector and, as always, to provide a sharp focus on the evolving Middle East bunker market.
