James Kennedy, Partner at Preston Turnbull LLP will be speaking at the Middle East Bunkering Convention taking place in Dubai 3-5 February 2025.

James will speak in session two: It’s complicated: The ramifications of global and regional regulations.

Speakers in this session will discuss the obligations – and costs – placed on the industry in order to comply with recent and upcoming regulations, such as CII, the EU Emissions Trading System, and FuelEU Maritime. A global carbon levy and fuel standard are also on the table for discussion at the International Maritime Organization. This session will seek clarification on the ramifications for the global shipping sector of new regulations and legislation and will examine the role of the bunker industry in navigating the regulatory maze. Will regulation be an effective driver for shipping’s decarbonisation and should incentivisation also be part of the mix?

ARACON 2024 in Rotterdam was an absolute blast! There was so much energy in the room and the presentations, panel discussions and delegate conversations unpacked the conference theme - what should a fit-for-purpose bunker industry look like? – quite brilliantly.

Not surprisingly, EU and IMO regulation was a key topic, along with digitalisation, bunker fuel quality and the role of biofuels in the future fuel mix. There were also great discussions about what leadership looks like in the evolving marine fuels sector, and the pivotal role of ARA and other ports in facilitating the energy transition.

Some ARACON takeaways…

🔍 Regulation is imperfect - CII certainly needs revisiting - but FuelEU Maritime does have the potential to be a gamechanger for the industry.

🥕 First movers need more incentives to keep up the momentum on decarbonisation – it can’t always be about the ‘stick’ of environmental regulation.

💻 Bunkering should embrace digitalisation – and it means so much more than installing a mass flow meter on bunker barge. Using the power of data is transforming the way we work and can introduce much needed transparency, accuracy and efficiency into industry practices.

ARACON 2024 showed that change is happening and that the bunker industry really doesn’t have a ‘head in the sand’ approach to its future - it is engaged, proactive and willing to share experiences. In Rotterdam last week, we saw collaboration and industry interaction at its best.

A huge thank you to all our sponsors, speakers, exhibitors and delegates for making ARACON 2024 one of the best ever. Roll on 2025!
