The first wave - lessons from a SECA
Sample Speech: Lisa Dwyer
Secretary-General, SEAaT, Marine Fuel Sustainability Forum, San Francisco, October 2005
Following the enormous success of the inaugural marine fuel emissions-focused forum in San Francisco in October 2005, Bunkerworld is proud to host the 2nd Marine Fuel Sustainability Forum in the beautiful Baltic Sea port city of Copenhagen.
The event offers a unique interface for the variety of stakeholders from various backgrounds affected by regulatory changes to marine fuel specifications to discuss and debate an effective incorporation of cleaner fuels.
Set upon the shores of the Baltic Sea, less than five months after the world's first Sulphur Emission Control Area (SECA) is introduced, this forum is ideally placed to provide a platform for progress in assuring environmental and economic sustainability.
"Low Sulfur fuel oil is the single most important challenge facing the bunker industry today and Bunkerworld should be
commended for providing a substantive forum for the discussion of all aspects of this issue."
- Paul Stebbins, President & CEO, World Fuel Services.
"The Bunkerworld Marine Fuel Sustainability Forum provides one of the best platforms for a balanced discussion and
interaction between the stakeholders. Real issues, real situations and real time practical solutions need to be publicly put
forward in the common interest of achieving compliance"
- Mark Cameron, Director, Procurement Services, Teekay Marine Services, Teekay Shipping.
"As we move forward with the implementation of SECAs, the question of whether there are sufficient resources of low sulphur
bunker fuel and what it will cost become vital to shipping and commerce in general. Bunkerworld's Marine Fuel Sustainability
Conference in Copenhagen provides the ideal forum for the first implications of SECAs to be measured."
- Jim Pedersen, President & CEO, O.W. Bunker and Trading
