ONE CONFERENCE, TWO TRACKS: BUNKER FUEL AND BALLAST WATER Conference Connection is pleased to announce its Inaugural Bunker Fuel & Ballast Water Compliance Conference & Exhibition (BuBWCE’19) which will be held from 12-14 November 2019 at the SANDS Expo & Convention Centre, Singapore

ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

The Compliance Challenge The strict global compliance & regulatory regime of the maritime industry is having a profound impact on its operations. Two of the most pressing environmental regulations requiring immediate response from the industry relate to IMO’s 0.5% Sulphur Cap by 1 January 2020, and Ballast Water Management Convention, with the requirement for installing a Ballast Water Management System on ships after 8 September 2019, and ensuring compliance with the ballast water management code for type approvals.

These regulations place on shipowners and operators, an urgent and demanding obligation to ensure compliance for their day-to-day business operations, which in turn has also impacted the fuel oil and wider commodity markets serving the industry.

While there has been some measure of preparation, there still remains much uncertainty based on options available and resulting challenges that have arisen from selecting the respective options for compliance.

One Conference & Two Tracks to Cover IMO 2020 & Ballast Water Issues With a distinguished panel of industry experts, the conference will address and showcase via Two Tracks, the practical impacts, best practices and contingency measures, reliability, operability and maintenance issues plaguing shipowners, managers and operators for the Bunker Fuel and Ballast Water compliance.

Bringing together representatives from the marine, legal and commodity eco systems, BuBWCE will promote active dialogue between shipowners, ship managers, shipyards, bunker fuel producers and traders, refiners, storage & terminal operators, classification societies, testing laboratories, insurance companies and brokers, P&I Clubs, bankers & lawyers, regulators, Port State & Flag State authorities and ballast water system manufacturers.

BuBWCE’19 SPONSORSHIP & EXHIBITION OPPORTUNITIES

The Inaugural BuBWCE’19 will provide outstanding opportunities for connecting your brand and showcasing your products and services to a premium audience. Increase business potential through direct exposure to a targeted audience from the bunker fuel & ballast water industries.

OPTIONAL HALF-DAY WORKSHOP, 12 NOVEMBER 2019

An optional half-day workshop on “Practical Aspects of Managing Ballast Water Treatment Systems” co-located with the conference and to be held on 12 November 2019, will provide a fundamental understanding of the challenges, complexities, and compliance for Ballast Water Treatment Systems. It will cover practical issues shipowners face from system requirements, conversion and installations, and the legal implications of non-compliance. Guest speakers will be invited to provide their specialist knowledge on these aspects. The workshop is individually priced and bookable separately. More details on page 4.
