In this week’s podcast, we discuss the issues surrounding the commercial viability of nuclear-powered ships and how they could change the shipping industry. In conversation with Mark Williams, Chirayu Batra, an independent expert on advanced reactors and small modular reactors, addresses technical questions on nuclear reactors. They are joined by Amelia Hipwell, Decarbonisation Innovation Manager at Lloyd's Register Maritime Decarbonisation Hub, who offers her perspectives on the business case for nuclear-powered shipping as well as the challenges, including overcoming public perceptions about the use of the technology. Amelia is the Decarbonisation Innovation Manager of the Lloyd’s Register Maritime Decarbonisation Hub (LR MDH). She manages the Hub’s proprietary Zero Carbon Fuel Monitor website which provides an insights-based assessment of the readiness of zero carbon fuels for maritime applications and industry-wide comparisons of alternative solutions across the entire fuel supply chain.  Chirayu Batra has over a decade of experience in advanced nuclear technology. Currently, he is channelling his expertise into a new stealth-mode venture, focused on advancing nuclear technology. Previously, as Chief Technology Officer at TerraPraxis and LucidCatalyst, Chirayu worked on large-scale deployment strategies for nuclear energy. Prior to this, he served as a Project Officer for advanced reactor technologies at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

40 DAYS TO FEST! ⏱️ 2-3 OCT 2024, PORTO One of our favourite things about SMF Fest is how much leaning in everyone does - the photos speak for themselves. Every single participant at a Fest commits to rolling their (smart casual) sleeves up, leaning into the hard conversations and working with their groups to reach useful outcomes. Every single participant leaves Thinking, Feeling and Doing differently to when they arrived. I know it's a big call, so I'm happy to be challenged on banu@uncommonconferences.com 😅 or have a look on the Fest home page: https://lnkd.in/gSzBtGdS We've locked in about two thirds of group discussion hosts for this year; here are a few of them: Ivelina Georgieva, Sustainability Leader Transport, IKEA Supply Chain Operations Chris Thorne, Director of Strategy & Operations, UMAS Sophie Delannoy, Advisor - Sustainable Logistics, North Sea Port Dr. Oliver Schuller, Director Sustainability Consulting, Sphera Jonathan Flynn, Director Clean Energy Solutions, CF Industries Stephen Gallagher, Technical Advisor, SGMF And some incredible participants from right across the value chain including: Bernhard Schulte Shipmanagement, CEPSA, Disney Cruise Line, MSC Cruise Management, Tata Steel, Trelleborg Marine Systems, Van Oord. As always, the Fest is made possible with the support & partnership of: Bureau Veritas Group GTT (Gaztransport & Technigaz) Hapag-Lloyd AG SGMF - Leading safe maritime decarbonisation Wärtsilä Brought to you by: uncommon conferences ship.energy Banu Kannu Lesley Bankes-Hughes Llewellyn Bankes-Hughes William Mulhall Osei Mitchell Rosa Holland #SMFFest #maritime #sustainability #sustainablemarinefuels #unconference #uncommonconferences

We are delighted to announce VPS as Gold Sponsors for ARACON taking place in Rotterdam 24-25 October 2024. VPS were the pioneers of marine #fuel #testing in 1981, plus bunker quantity surveys in 1987 and very quickly became established as a world-leading partner to the maritime industry. Before the International Marine Fuel Testing Standard, ISO8217, was introduced in 1987, it was already a global-leader in marine fuel quality testing and 40 years on, remain so to this day. From the introduction of IMO MARPOL Annex VI in 2005, environmental legislation aimed at reducing SOx, NOx and Particulate-Matter emissions has driven many developments in marine fuels and lubricants, with its innovations providing valued-solutions to the world’s shipping fleet. To achieve a #sustainable shipping industry, attention is now focused on reducing CO2 and greenhouse gas emissions over the next 30 years and VPS is at the forefront in fuel and oil advisory testing services supporting the maritime sector to achieve these goals. • View the programme here ➔ https://lnkd.in/eFDq_ReR • Register to attend here ➔ https://lnkd.in/eD_gEw2U #ARACON24 #Rotterdam #Netherlands #bunkering #shipping #ports

Cruise giant Royal Caribbean Group are facing allegations of greenwashing for their promotion of LNG as a so-called 'green fuel'. The criticism comes from the Say No to LNG – Global Shipping Campaign, who have launched a petition calling the company to stop the promotion of LNG as a sustainable fuel. The campaign also is asking for greater transparency on the environmental impacts of LNG, and shifting investments towards zero-emission technologies.

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.   • View the programme here ➔ https://lnkd.in/gqQyZsv4   • Register to attend here ➔ https://lnkd.in/gNeHGKZe   #METF24 #Antwerp #shipping #maritime #energytransition #decarbonisation #futuremobility
