Decarbonising operations to reduce emissions and costs remains top of the agenda at Seawork. For 2025, Seawork Conferences will be featuring three bitesize free to attend sessions on Wednesday 11 June 2025.
Hear about the latest developments in onshore power supply, tackling future fuels with ease, and how AI and autonomy are helping to optimise performance and deliver efficiencies across fleet management;
Session 1 10:00 - 11:15 - Future fuels: Real world applications and industry learnings - Future fuels – Real world applications and industry learnings The marine industry is undergoing a significant shift in fuel technologies to reduce emissions and improve efficiency. But how is the sector greening operations and what are the latest developments in sustainable alternative fuels? Noel Tomlinson, (Global Business Development – Commercial Shipping, BMT & SMI Workboat Working Group Lead) will moderate the conversation. Andrew Clarke Senior Technology Specialist, MCA, will share insights on future maritime decarbonisation policy and future fuel safety, Bert de Ruiter (Commercial Manager, Jifmar) will discuss his work on making the industry more sustainable through hydrogen fuel cell technology highlighting case study data on the OSV Coastal Liberty which is now running on emission-free green hydrogen, and Steve Bruce (Managing Director, e-Propulsion) will look at transitioning towards a greener future with advanced electric motors designed for a new era of boating.
Session 2 11:45 - 13:00 - Onshore Power Supply: Connect, Invest, Decarbonise Onshore power supply (OPS) is becoming a key solution in the maritime industry's efforts to reduce emissions and improve sustainability. Roland Teixeira de Mattos (President, EOPSA) will moderate the session and bring the industry together to unlock the potential of net-zero. Joined by Leo Hambro (Director, Tidal Transit Limited), Andy Hurley (Director, Marine Zero) will discuss evaluating leading technology and techniques for a clean maritime energy transition, and Chris Poyner (Business Manager – Land Based Shore Connection, ABB) will focus on progress across the sector including the OPS project at Portsmouth International Port
Session 3 14:15 - 15:30 - Driving down OPEX with data driven decisions Operational expenditure is a critical factor in the marine industry, so how are AI, autonomy, and real-world data driving efficiencies in fleet management? Jonathan Strachan, Chief Technical Officer at Houlder Ltd. will share his experience. Investments in solutions such as AI-driven fleet optimization are helping to reduce long-term operational costs.
Join the 2025 conferences to hear insights and learnings on key themes that are at the forefront of discussions across the industry.
