In today’s tough climate, operators need to be equipped with the knowledge to optimise the efficiency of their fleets, whilst reducing costs and maximising the use of new technology to improve performance. Entitled ‘Future proofing your fleet’ the Propulsion & Emissions Conference will inform participants about the latest advances in engine technology, emerging technologies for cylinder conditioning, turbochargers and propulsion systems for today’s shipping market, as well as the forthcoming ballast water convention, hybridisation and digital strategies to drive efficiencies in vessel performance. Furthermore a CIMAC Engine Users Working Group will feed back on IMO Tier I retrofit, plus Tier II and III practical acceptance and more.
