New and Emerging Technologies
for the Shipping Industry
The shipping industry is facing some fundamental changes. There is the prediction of world growth that means more freight, coupled with the demands of increased efficiency, new energy sources, and improved safety as the seas become more congested.

The efficiency demands bring together pressure for improved systems and technologies with better asset management and oversight.

Above all this is the regulatory agenda that targets the industry on a global level, yet with regional rules appearing to add to the complex situation where technology in one region may not be suitable for another. These are themes being discussed in every quarter of the shipping industry, yet not in a consistent way. Efficiencies in one market have not always translated into improvements elsewhere.

The 4th Annual Middle East ShipTech 2011 Conference brings the ship owners, managers and systems makers together to debate these changes. It is a forum for debate with an eye firmly set on what technology is about to reach commercial availability, what is going to be available in the near future, and which technologies are needed.

The conference is growing from strength to strength as the region’s leading interactive meeting for shipowners, legislators and technology companies.

Address regional safety and environmental challenges
Be updated by the legislative arena affecting your operation
Only at the 4th Annual ShipTech Conference will all your questions be addressed. It is an interactive forum to see what is shaping the world and how this is shaping the region’s players in this market.
Key themes addressed in November 2011 will be the impact of the implementation of CO2 rules into the IMO’s rules and the growing array of systems that can be deployed to both reduce CO2 emissions and monitor the results.

There is a continual drive for new energy sources as well as reducing the impact of oil. How have these developed over the year? LNG is set to take off in Northern Europe. What is the fuels scope on a global basis? What environmental technologies are on the horizon? Will operators need to look at SOx scrubbing even if they are not in an emission control area? Have recent events in Japan dampened enthusiasm for nuclear?

Away from the environmental debates and pressures, owners will still be looking at the bridge and communication systems and their integration, cargo systems and other safety developments. Manufacturers are pushing ahead new technologies, but how will these innovations translate into improvements for the shipping company and its assets?
