SHIP DESIGN AND OPERATION FOR SHIP ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY CONFERENCE
Date
10 Mar 2010 - 11 Mar 2010Location
London, UKDetails
The environment must be considered in every aspect of the design and operation of all shipping, from construction all the way through to decommissioning. The earlier these issues are addressed in the design stage, the more cost effective and successful they are likely to be at reducing the environmental impact of shipping industry. However, much can also be undertaken on existing vessels to reduce the impact of the remainder of their lives. The IMO is systematically introducing regulations on a number of topics to reduce the impact of the marine industry on both the sea and atmosphere, including exhaust emissions, anti-fouling, and ballast water amongst others.
RINA invites papers from designers, regulators, class societies, builders, owners, suppliers and researchers on all related topics including:
- Lower fuel consumption
- Reducing air pollution (CO2, NOx, SOx and particulates)
- Ballast water treatment & management
- Waste management & sewage
- Reducing accidental spillage and discharges
- Minimising impact on maritime flora and fauna
- Improving ship energy efficiency index
- "Clean" production and maintenance methods
- Design for end of life & recycling
- Road map of upcoming and future legislation
