Micallef’s address will inform participants on the outcome of the recent PPR meeting so delegates will hear first-hand from the legislators on the next steps and will have the opportunity to ask questions for clarification. Delegates will also hear from Jakobsen on Maersk Line’s plans for future proofing their fleet to meet current and these forthcoming regulations. With so much happening in the industry – sulphur cap, ballast water convention, NECAs – at such a difficult time, delegates will benefit from hearing first hand from the world’s largest operator.
