On board the Viking Mariella, delegates at GFS this year will gain valuable insight, from feedback by operators, about the use of low flash point fuels and the development and use of alternative fuels, together with the viability and likely take-up of ‘future’ fuels. Pricing predictions, safety, technology, along with technical panel discussions on the bunkering infrastructure and technical visits to the working fuel cell in situ, and much more will all be included. Book now to secure your place!
Chaired by: Lars Robert Pedersen, Deputy Secretary General, BIMCO and Mark Bell, General Manager, SGMF, this year’s Gas Fuelled Ships programme is entitled ‘Fuelling the future of the shipping industry’ and will draw on facts and figures directly from operators and designers on operating low flash point fuelled vessels. Plus, with an eye on the future, Meyer Werft will present the e4ships Project Pa-X-ell - testing high-temperature PEM fuel cells on passenger vessels – whilst ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems, lead partner and system integrators on Project SchIBZ, the aim of which is to develop scalable, integrated hybrid fuel cell system for seagoing ships, having a power capacity of 50 to 500 kW.
