SHIP DESIGN AND OPERATION FOR
ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY
10 - 11 March 2010, London, UK
Registration Now Open
As Mr. Mitropoulos the Secretary General of IMO has stated it is now generally accepted that “The time
for apportioning blame as to who is responsible for the state of the planet has passed. Now it is time for
action. Developed and developing countries, industrialized and emerging economies alike are left with
no option other than to get together and, together, work out solutions that will serve well the good cause
of reversing the route to planet destruction.”
The environment must be considered in every aspect of the design and operation of all shipping, from
construction all the way through to decommissioning. The earlier these issues are addressed in the design
stage, the more cost effective and successful they are likely to be at reducing the environmental impact
of shipping industry. However, much can also be undertaken on existing vessels to reduce the impact of
the remainder of their lives. The IMO is systematically introducing regulations on a number of topics to
reduce the impact of the marine industry on both the sea and atmosphere, including exhaust emissions,
anti-fouling, and ballast water amongst others.
Topics Include:
• Lower fuel consumption
• Reducing air pollution (CO2, NOx, SOx and particulates)
• Ballast water treatment & management
• Waste management & sewage
• Reducing accidental spillage and discharges
• Minimising impact on maritime flora and fauna
• Improving ship energy efficiency index
• “Clean” production and maintenance methods
• Design for end of life & recycling
• Road map of upcoming and future legislation
