Dear Shipping Professional,

Shipowners and operators face a number of difficult choices in 2015 in light of recent regulatory and market developments. From deciding which technology to install to comply with ballast water regulation, to fuel and scrubber selection for SOx compliance, effective technology uptake in 2015 will play a larger role than ever in navigating the challenges in the shipping industry.

The 7th Annual Shiptech Forum represents an ideal opportunity for you to learn, network and devise strategies to improve operational efficiency and meet the compliance challenges to avoid sanctions.

Over two days, industry leading CEOs and technical experts from shipowners and operators will address some of the biggest challenges currently at stake.

Topics including ballast water systems implementation, SOx and NOx ECA requirements, vessel performance monitoring and industry KPIs, benchmarks and standards and the role of ports and shipyards in the regional growth will be discussed.

ME ShipTech 2014 is the perfect platform for shipowners and operators to discuss best practice and effective solutions to grow the industry in the region.

I hope you will find this experience enriching and insightful and look forward to seeing you in Dubai in November.
