| 8th annual Capital Link Operational Excellence in Shipping - Best Practices” in Athens |
| |
Capitalizing on the long established track record of organizing highly successful large scale maritime conferences in major industry centers around the world, the “8th Annual Operational Excellence in Shipping – Best Industry Practices” Forum will take place on Tuesday, October 30, 2018 at the Hilton Athens Hotel.
With an 8-year track record it is the only Forum that showcases Operational Excellence in the Maritime Sector that explores Best Industry Practices across all major areas such as fleet management, technological innovation, crewing, energy efficiency and the environment, safety & security.
This year’s forum focuses on “The Industry at Crossroads” as the industry has to decide on specific strategies addressing the challenges ahead. Thus, we will focus on three main topics, all of which are game changers for the industry. The first one is the transformational impact of Technology and Digitalization. The second relates to the importance and necessity of Maritime Education. And third one, to which we devote the biggest part of the Forum refers to the upcoming Environmental Regulations and how these can impact the shipping industry from an operational, investment and risk/financial viewpoints. We will deep dive into the three main areas, Ballast Water Treatment, Sulfur Cap and Decarbonization, as well as the outlook for Marine Fuels.
The Forum is featuring senior Executives from 29 leading shipping companies, 3 major classification societies (Bureau Veritas, DNVGL, Lloyd’s Register), the biggest registry in the world - Liberian Registry , IMO - International Maritime Organization, US Coast Guard , the heads of 4 International Organisations (BIMCO, European Community Shipowners Associations, INTERCARGO, INTERTANKO), International Banks (ΑΒΝ AMRO and DVB BANK), as well as EXXON MOBIL.
2018 CAPITAL LINK MARITIME CSR LEADERSHIP AWARD
In the context of the Forum the 2018 “Capital Link Maritime CSR Leadership Award” will be presented to Mr. Philippe Louis-Dreyfus, Chairman - Louis Dreyfus Armateurs S.A.S.; Former President – BIMCO.
Mr. Panagiotis Laskaridis, President - European Community Shipowners Associations; CEO - Lavinia Corporation/Laskaridis Shipping Co. Ltd., will deliver the Introductory remarks.
The “Capital Link Maritime CSR Leadership Award” was initiated 6 years ago aiming to recognize a person or an organization for demonstrating the highest level of commitment to Business Ethics and Best Industry Practices. Previous Honorees were Mr. Jeremy Penn, Dr. Nikos Tsakos, Mr. Efthimios Mitropoulos, Mr. Clay Maitland and Mr. John Platsidakis.
