London to host abatement technology conference

A conference to examine how shipping companies choose abatement technologies and collaborate with solution providers to reduce emissions and meet regulations will be held in London on November 17th.

The conference is being convened by SEAaT (Shipping Emissions Abatement and Trading), the industry association dedicated to shipping emissions abatement and trading, which is supported by, amongst others, Shell Shipping, BP Shipping, P&O Ferries, Stena Line, Carnival Corp and Tsakos.

Participants will also include major shipping and technology companies – Maersk, Rolls-Royce, International Paints, Ecospec, Rio-Tinto, Lloyd’s Register, Aalborg, as well as the European Commission.

The conference will be held at the London headquarters of the international law firm Norton Rose LLP, where a technology exhibition will run alongside. The exhibition will focus on available technologies for ship owners, designers, builders and financiers.

“Shipping companies are preparing to comply with IMO and EU-related emissions restrictions,” said SEAaT Secretary-General John Aitken.

“This conference will provide a unique insight into the factors that led some shipping majors to choose particular abatement technologies and their experience in working with solution providers. The ‘Innovation Meets Regulation’ conference and exhibition will provide a forum for the innovators, ship owners, financiers and industry associations to learn from practical experience and understand the significant potential commercial benefits of investing in abatement technologies,” added Aitken.
