29 November – 01 December  – Royal Institution of Naval Architects “Scaling Decarbonisation Solutions Conference”– Reducing Emissions by 2030.’ conference in Rotterdam 29 Nov – 01 Dec this year.

What will be your scalable solution for this decade? The social demand for an environmentally conscious transition of sea trade is encouraging ship owners and regulators to take on this challenge with technical and operational solutions to meet the environmental goals.

To further investigate The Royal Institution of Naval Architects and Maersk Mc-Kinney Moller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping (MMMCZCS) have partnered to offer a conference that will provide a platform to discuss the scalability of current technologies and policies that will transform the shipping industry.

Presentation: Wind Propulsion Scalability: Opportunities & Challenges

International Windship Association: Wind-assist are entering the market now and large primary wind vessels will soon be following. The pace of uptake is starting to accelerate, however what will a wind powered fleet look like and what are the challenges and opportunities as this is scaled. This paper will present an analysis of these areas, with primary data taken from the IWSA members survey and industry /policy makers questionnaire results. The paper will also focus on specific segments of fleet as case studies of the impact of incorporating wind and operational adjustments on decarbonisation, including speed, weather routing and the adoption of wind-centered green corridors.

09-11 February – WIND FOR THE FUTURE FORUM at the One Ocean Summit – Wind propulsion to be front and centre at the ONE OCEAN SUMMIT

A SUMMIT TO TAKE ACTION AGAINST THE THREATS TO THE OCEAN
The ocean covers more than 70% of the surface of our planet, yet too often remains on the side lines of major European and international events. 
The ocean is a regulator of major environmental balances, and climate in particular, a provider of resources, an important enabler of trade, and an essential link between countries and human communities. However, it is now seriously threatened by numerous pressures, such as the effects of climate change, pollution or the overexploitation of marine resources. 
In an effort to mobilise the international community and take tangible action to mitigate such pressures on the ocean, the President of the French Republic has decided to organise a One Planet Summit dedicated to the ocean, scheduled to take place in Brest on 9-11 February 2022. The “One Ocean Summit” will be held in the context of the French Presidency of the Council of the European Union, with the support of the United Nations. 

WIND FOR THE FUTURE FORUM
The International Windship Association and Association Wind Ship are thrilled to announce the organisation of a forum dedicated to wind propulsion at the opening of this summit.
Two panels and a debate will feed the reflections on the role of wind propulsion into the pathway for decarbonising shipping. This forum highlights the serious consideration that wind propulsion is receiving as an alternative energy source for shipping. The discussion will focus on the means to accelerate the deployment of these solutions, which carry such societal and environmental promise.  Register Here

30 September –  TOWARDS ZERO EMISSION SHIPPING” as part of SeaFuture 2021, La Spezia Naval Base, Naples Italy: Presentation & Panel discussion with IWSA SG 1130–1300 (IT Time) Transport accounts for a quarter of the EU’s greenhouse gas emissions, the contribution that ports and the whole shipping industry must give to support the “green transition” promoted by the EU Green Deal, including the 90% of reduction in transport emission by 2050, is massive. 

27-29 September – Zero-and Low-Emission Innovation Forum – The IMO-UNEP-Norway Forum is a global platform aimed at championing innovation to accelerate the transition of the marine sector towards a zero- and low-emission future. The focus will be on addressing specific needs of developing countries, especially Least Developed Countries (LDCs) and Small Island Developing States (SIDS). Further details 

21 September – Wind for Goods – Upcoming event in Nantes, France involving the IWSA Europe Atlantic hub, Association Wind Ship. The first national event in France dedicated to wind-powered maritime transport. The objective is to discover concrete solutions and innovations that contribute to the decarbonisation of goods transport, and to discuss the key issues of this sector which works to protect our maritime environment. Check Website for more details

15-16 September 2021 – Wind Propulsion 2021 conference – hybrid event to be held at the Royal Institution of Naval Architects UK headquarters in association with IWSA. For more information, the programme and abstracts and to register, please check https://www.rina.org.uk/Wind_Propulsion_2021.html

This event also forms part of this year’s London International Shipping Week 2021 https://londoninternationalshippingweek.com/

If you are interested in sponsoring the event, then please contact RINA or IWSA directly to discuss that.  Really looking forward to another quality and impactful event in September.

08 September – Webinar (1400 CEST): “Going beyond Compliance: Harnessing the wind to meet IMO’s EEXI regulations and increasing demand for higher ESG standards”. IWSA SG will be on the panel along with Tuomas Riski, Norsepower CEO,  Kris Fumberger, Sustainability Manager RightShip, Aude Leblanc Technology Leader, sustainable shipping Bureau Veritas & moderated by Alisdair Pettigrew, Director of BLUE Communications

The panel will explore potential market consolidation during the transition to net zero and the commercial and regulatory drivers impacting decision making for developing resilient fleets. With this combination of factors, shipping faces an unprecedented challenge to decarbonise that will require the sector to invest in new initiatives driven by push and pull effects. What are the near-term challenges for ship owners and operators in meeting imminent EEXI and CII requirements and how can these be overcome? How can ship owner and charterers collaborate better to reach favourable commercial agreements whilst working towards environmental goals? How can the industry future-proof against ESG demands and higher fuel costs?

04 June – IWSA: Wind Propulsion Strategic Review – Workshop
Using as baseline the EU commissioned report produced by CE Delft and associates. ‘Study on the analysis of market potentials and market barriers for wind propulsion technologies for ships’ with the headline findings: ‘Should some wind propulsion technologies for ships reach marketability in 2020, the maximum market potential for bulk carriers, tankers and container vessels is estimated to add up to around 3,700-10,700 installed systems until 2030, including both retrofits and installations on newbuilds, depending on the bunker fuel price, the speed of the vessels, and the discount rate applied. The use of these wind propulsion systems would then lead to CO2 savings of around 3.5-7.5 Mt CO2 in 2030 and the wind propulsion sector would then be good for around 6,500-8,000 direct and around 8,500-10,000 indirect jobs.’

The workshop will include roundtable discussions of experts in the field, including some of the contributors to the original report, an assessment of progress made and areas requiring more focus and breakout groups to discuss these key areas. The conclusions from this multi-stakeholder event will inform the International Wind Propulsion Working Group that will be formed shortly after this event. Registration Details will be posted soon.

02-04 June – GreenTech 2021 will be held VIRTUALLY, Wednesday, June 2, to Friday, June 4. – IWSA presentation – 02 June
