The three-day convention is set to bring together delegates from across the global bunker and marine energy industry for sessions covering industry insights, discussion and networking.

Early-bird registration rates are priced at $1,199 for IBIA members and $1,499 for non-members. After 31 August, delegates wishing to attend will no longer have access to the discounted pricing.
