"MOVING FROM DISCUSSION TO DELIVERY"

Capital Link's Decarbonization in Shipping Forum will take place on Wednesday & Thursday, April 14 & 15, 2021 from 8:30am – 3:30pm GMT as a digital event.

Decarbonization is the next frontier for the industry to conquer adhering to specific objectives and timeframes. Despite the fact that the industry has to achieve specific emission reduction objectives within defined timeframes, there is significant uncertainty across the board.

This two-day event held in digital format aims to combine two main features providing a forum true to the goal of “Moving from Discussion to Delivery”. The agenda topics are carefully designed and selected by the Steering Committee comprised of leading experts in the Maritime Industry.

Registration is complimentary

IS LNG AN INTERMEDIATE OR A LONG-TERM OPTION? What about LPG?
1:50 pm - 2:35 pm GMT
 
LNG is the cleanest fossil fuel, allowing companies to lower their sulfur emissions and position themselves closer to their overall sustainability goals, while also helping make their fleet more attractive to charterers and achieve competitive time charters. What are the commercial benefits and challenges of choosing LNG as a fuel, and how can LNG help a company align more effectively with its commercial objectives and sustainability strategy? Is LNG an intermediate solution, or can it continue to be used in the future? This is an especially relevant topic for companies which place newbuilding orders for assets that have a long economic life.
