The Motorship Propulsion and Future Fuels is hosting a keynote panel discussion to examine the impact of the proposed extension of shore-power supply requirements to ports within the European Union.
The session will focus on the requirement for containerships and passenger vessels to connect to shore power from 2030 for stays longer than two hours. The discussion will also cover the expected introduction of requirements for shore-power infrastructure development under the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR), as well as the FuelEU Maritime Regulation which will come into effect in 2025, imposing life cycle GHG footprint requirements on the energy used on board ships.
The panel will be moderated by Lars Robert Pedersen – Deputy Secretary General of BIMCO, which represents 60% of the world’s tonnage.
The panellists include:
Ricardo Batista, Policy Officer, Directorate-General for Mobility and Transport European Commission
Isabelle Ryckbost, Secretary, General, ESPO
Martin Kröger, Chief Executive Officer, VDR German Shipowners’ Association
Kai-Dieter Classen, Deputy Director External Affairs, Hamburg Port Authority
Wolfram Guntermann, Director Regulatory Affairs Fleet, Hapag-Lloyd AG
Torsten Schramm, President Maritime, DNV
