Retrofitting existing vessels offers opportunities to improve performance, explore hybrid solutions and gain better insight into emissions. But making the right decisions requires understanding which technologies deliver practical benefits.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

These questions will be explored in the upcoming webinar, <\/span>Retrofit: Turning Existing Fleets into Future-Ready Assets<\/span><\/i>, taking place on 12 November at 15:00.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Moderated by Dr Markus Munz, the session will bring together specialists from Alfa Laval, Hoppe Marine and Houlder to discuss energy efficiency, emissions monitoring and data-driven upgrades.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

From efficiency gains to informed investment<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Bram van Puijenbroek, Regional Business Manager at Alfa Laval, will explore air lubrication and its potential to improve vessel efficiency.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Uwe Altenbach, Sales Manager at Hoppe Marine, will discuss a pilot installation of a Continuous Emissions Monitoring System (CEMS) on a seagoing vessel, focusing on CO\u2082 concentration and mass determination.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Martin Bennell, Chief Commercial Officer at Houlder, will examine how data-led analysis can identify practical hybrid retrofit opportunities and support informed investment decisions.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Making existing vessels fit for the future<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Together, these perspectives will explore how shipowners can improve existing vessel performance and identify suitable retrofit options as the industry moves towards lower emissions.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For operators considering their next steps in fleet modernisation, the webinar offers an opportunity to hear directly from industry experts and explore practical approaches to retrofit.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
