Hempel invites you to their event
About this event
The introduction of the 2023 IMO strategy on reduction of GHG emissions from shipping has spurred discussions on practical pathways to align with the ambitious 2050 targets.
While multiple technologies are being developed to retrofit existing ships, some are still in the early stages and will not make a significant impact immediately. Now, the question arises: what immediate actions can bridge the gap between the IMO targets and the current reality for shipowners and operators?
In this webinar, Yigit Kemal Demirel, PhD and Decarbonization Specialist, will guide shipowners and operators in how to make a more educated decision on the optimal choice for energy efficiency measures. By using Hempel’s scientifically validated framework for ship-specific impact assessments, he will demonstrate the effects of various coating scenarios on CII, EU ETS carbon cost, and total cost of ownership (TCO) on a real-life bulk carrier case.
