11 to 11.30 am
Coffee talk: Vessel and crew optimisation – a route to decarbonisation
Digitalisation in vessel operation and navigation has already provided the maritime industry with significant enhancements in accuracy, efficiency, and safety. Today’s technologies such as Fleet Optimisation Solutions and automated navigational tools have replaced traditional manual processes, providing real-time data and sophisticated analytics for better decision-making and optimisation of passages. Voyage benchmarking can deliver a range of insights and benefits that help shipping companies improve efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance overall performance.

Coffee talk: Wärtsilä Carbon Capture – the green future of conventional fuels in shipping
As the shipping industry faces increasing environmental pressures and stricter regulations, we must embrace technology to tackle shipping's key sustainability issues. Wärtsilä Wet Electrostatic Precipitator (WESP) technology is a critical first step in this journey. It effectively reduces Particulate Matter (PM) emissions in conventional fuels used in any diesel engine by more than 85%.

Coffee talk: Sustainable fuels and decarbonisation
Join Wärtsilä's General Manager of sustainable fuels and decarbonisation, Kaj Portin to discuss what the future for marine can look like.
If you are considering a switch to low-carbon fuel, methanol is an attractive option. Green methanol has the potential to be carbon free, and it meets current and future emissions targets in terms of NOx, SOx and particulates.
The Wärtsilä 32 methanol engine provides a new route to maritime decarbonisation.
Estimates show that 90% of data generated onboard the ship never leaves the deck. This data, and digitally connected operations, are key to unlocking optimal efficiency and sustainability.
Wärtsilä Fleet Optimisation Solutions (FOS) provides an integrated system to connect navigational data, operational processes, fuel efficiency and more. All of this by integrating systems and communication between ships, shore offices, and ports.
