Testimonials

In recognising the achievement of individuals and companies, the 2011 Sustainable Shipping Awards again demonstrated the contribution, which the shipping industry is making towards a cleaner maritime environment and reducing carbon emissions. However, the industry cannot rest on its laurels, and the Awards also serve to remind it of the need to maintain the progress it has made in recent years. Such progress will require the innovation, which will undoubtedly be recognised the 2012 Awards.

The Royal Institution of Naval Architects applauds the organisers of the Sustainable Shipping Awards for their success in raising the profile of this important issue which impacts on all sectors of the maritime industry - as well as providing a most enjoyable Dinner at which the Awards are presented!

Well attended by industry opinion formers and influencers, Sustainable Shipping events provide an important platform to debate and shape the evolution of a more sustainable future for shipping. Total Lubmarine has been involved in all the Sustainable Shipping events over the past two years and the opportunity to showcase our lubricants, meet prospective customers and network with peers has proven extremely valuable.

The entire feel of the event seemed to be focused on information sharing and establishing reputable contacts in the industry.

These events bring together some of the best minds in shipping to focus on improving the industry and building a better future. Innovations initially proposed at a Sustainable Shipping Conference have become common practice, showing a real value to the gathering, which I hope will continue.

The event was very well organized, striking the right balance between solid discussion topics and dedicated networking opportunities. The many varied aspects of Corporate Social Responsibility were well represented.

Sustainable Shipping conferences have provided us the opportunity to share ideas, developing trends and technologies with others in the maritime industry. Meeting people who are focused on the changes occurring today and hearing their plans for the ones coming in the future has been very beneficial.

We have commented both during and after the conference on the professional and friendly attitude of the Petromedia crew. If that was the norm for Petromedia conferences then no wonder you have the credibility that you do in the maritime community.

Everything associated with the Miami event was as smooth and professional as could be expected or delivered. The venue, the accommodations, the speakers, the hand-out materials, the food, the service and the timing of each session was excellent.

Well planned and organized with a wide range of topics and discussions that combined both commercial and technical aspects. The conference gave an holistic approach to the issues currently affecting the bunker industry, the Greek shipping community and the shipping community as a whole.
