Jon Lorentzen Nordgard from Massterly will be talking about autonomous vessels. In addition to reducing costs, autonomy can become an important piece in the energy transformation from fossil to renewable propulsion systems in shipping. Several autonomous vessels are now in the testing phase to achieve unmanned commercial operations. Massterly will share with you their thoughts on how autonomy will impact the shipping industry.

Working always in the same spaces, isolated from the rest of the world, being in contact with the same people, exposed to noise and smell, sleep deprivation, fatigue and constantly changing environment can cause a psychological deterioration that may lead to chronic disorders and even severe pathologies. When well taken care, the mental well-being of the crew members on-board translates into better team work and overall increase in the efficacy and productivity of the crew members on -board

Lifeboats are supposed to save lives, and indeed they do. But lifeboats have also turned out to constitute quite a work hazard, and each year lifeboat drills cause injuries to seafarers and occasionally even seafarer deaths.

The discussion questions the relevance of the wall wash inspection and recommends replacing the wall wash with washing water analysis as a safer, more environmentally aware method of determining cargo tank suitability prior to loading any cargo. There is still a reluctance within the wider chemical tanker industry to accept that there may be better alternatives to the wall wash, so in order to address this, Guy Johnson, Director of L&I Maritime Ltd. , will explore just how little the wall wash inspection actually offers at the same time recognising the safety and environmental impacts of achieving a wall wash standard and how the washing water analysis actually contributes to safer working conditions and lower GHG emissions. Does the wall wash inspection definitely tell commercial interests that a cargo can be loaded successfully or not? Assuming a vessel is clean by hiding behind a wall wash result could be seen as bordering on stupidity. The “dilution effect” is the reason why vessels load successfully, not the wall wash specification. Washing Water Analysis significantly reduces confined space entry for the vessels’ crews and cargo surveyors. Washing Water Analysis contributes to a 58% reduction in CO2 emissions during tank cleaning.

WE ARE SORRY THAT THIS EVENT HAS HAD TO BE POSTPONED Stay tuned for the new date, sign up for our newsletters , and follow us on LinkedIn . If you had already signed up for this webinar, we will let you know when it is rescheduled. The use of electronic bills of lading (eBL) in shipping is steadily increasing. The world’s largest iron ore mining companies are shipping 20% of their annual trade volume on electronic bills of lading – and that figure is likely to exceed 25% by the end of next year. There is now solid traction for the widespread adoption of eBLs. Are you thinking about transitioning from paper to digital in 2024? In this 15+15 Webinar, BIMCO's Grant Hunter, Director of Standards, Innovation & Research will focus on 5 things you need to know about electronic bills of lading Speed, cost and security Legal certainty Interoperability Reducing reliance on LOIs Creating opportunities
