David Stalfort introduces compliances options for the new regulations coming in 2020
NORFOLK | With the International Maritime Organizationrsquos sulfur emissions cap approaching in 2020 vessel operators around the world are exploring different options to comply with the imminent regulations One of the fuel options liquefied natural gas (LNG) is already being utilized domestically and abroad to fuel purpose-built vessels and those beginning to convert their fuel systems away from fuels with a higher sulfur content Over the last several years the emergence of domestic gas supply fields in the United States has also helped fuel the demand for LNG infrastructure relating to bunkering operations
Virginiarsquos ports host robust commercial shallow-draft and deep-draft fleets and the Virginia Maritime Association (VMA) spearheaded an effort to ensure that our vessels will have access to compliant fuels in the near future On November 15th 2018 the VMA hosted a roundtable forum on the future of emissions compliance regulations and the use of LNG as a compliant fuel option for vessels calling on our port
Industry experts from ABS Group SEALNG and the US Coast Guardrsquos Gas Carrier National Center of Expertise gave presentations on a wide range of LNG-related topics such as 2020 emissions regulations compliance options and regulatory oversight
With over 40 participants attending either in-person or via conference line the event attracted a wide range of regional industry players including gas suppliers vessel

NORFOLK | During the Virginia Maritime Associationrsquos Membership Briefing on October 25 2018 Dr Larry ldquoChiprdquo Filer Associate Vice President for Entrepreneurship and Economic Development at Old Dominion University introduced the Port Distribution and Logistics Innovation Hub
The Innovation Hub will offer a neutral space where startups existing companies and university research labs can find solutions to pressing issues in the maritime industry It is modeled on other successful hubs and accelerators from around the globe such as The Dock in Israel Startup Wharf in England Ze Box in France Port XL in the Netherlands MGTIC in New YorkNew Jersey and Blue Economy in California
The idea for the hub began in the spring of 2018 during a discussion between representatives of ODU and the Virginia Maritime Association both groups agreeing that such a hub could strengthen commerce through Virginiarsquos ports
ldquoWater is our brand we need to embrace it as a regionrdquo Dr Filer said ldquoWe envision the hub being a Commonwealth-wide effortrdquo
The search for an Executive Director will begin in January 2019 to be in place by May when the physical location should be open (see rendering above)
ldquoThe VMA plans to fully support the innovation hubrdquo said David White Executive Vice President of the VMA ldquoOur industries can truly benefit from the solutions that we know will emerge from itrdquo

NORFOLK | In August local student Dakota Bitterman 10 was announced as a finalist in the North American Marine Environment Protection Association (NAMEPA) Art Contest for the second year in a row In recognition of her accomplishment the Virginia Maritime Association (VMA) invited Dakota her parents Cori and John Bitterman her 5th grade teacher James Kantowski and Principal Tracy Cioppa to a small celebration with VMA and Coast Guard representatives
ldquoThe VMA feels it is important to recognize the importance of the maritime industry within our communityrdquo said David White Executive Vice President of the VMA ldquoThe NAMEPA art contest helps brings important issues to the table related to shipping and the environment We are proud to know that Dakota as a local finalist in a national art contest was able to showcase the impact of our shipping industry on the worldrdquo
Dakota was a finalist in 2018 for her interpretation of the theme ldquoBetter Shipping for a Better Futurerdquo and previously in 2017 for her piece based on ldquoConnecting Ships Ports and Peoplerdquo
ldquoLast year I chose to draw a mermaid because I really love mermaids and Norfolk is the city of mermaids so what a perfect combinationrdquo Dakota explained ldquoThe mermaid holding up the globe represents how important the port of Norfolk is to the worldrdquo
Her 2018 artwork features a larger container vessel with sails double propellers and solar panels
ldquoI drew a larger ship so that it could hold more containers meaning
A VISION FOR CHEAPER CLEANER SAFER SHIPPINGless ships in the water I added more eco-friendly features to the ship such as sails for wind power solar panels less dragging paint and double propellersrdquo Dakota explainedldquoWe need the shipping industry but also a cleaner environmentrdquo
She titled the 2018 piece ldquoCheaper Cleaner Saferrdquo inspired by the slogan for the ldquoWider Deeper Saferrdquo project aiming to widen and deepen Virginia waters accommodating for the new era of larger ships Dakota learned about the project from her father who works in the Coast Guard He was also able to provide her the opportunity to tour vessels giving her a better understanding of how the ships work
Dakota discovered the contest through the Coast Guardrsquos information network and received support from her school to pursue the competition
ldquoThis type of contest could definitely fit in with our curriculumrdquo James Kantowski said
NAMEPA began the contest nine years ago partnering with the US Coast Guard
for the past six through the USCGrsquos Partnership in Education Program According to NAMEPA the goal of the competition is ldquoto share the integral role that ships play in ensuring that shipping remains the most environmentally friendly way to transport goods across the world and how shipping is evolving to lessen environmental impactsrdquo
ldquoArt contests like this are not about winning for merdquo Dakota said ldquobut about doing it and having fun

NORFOLK | In August local student Dakota Bitterman 10 was announced as a finalist in the North American Marine Environment Protection Association (NAMEPA) Art Contest for the second year in a row In recognition of her accomplishment the Virginia Maritime Association (VMA) invited Dakota her parents Cori and John Bitterman her 5th grade teacher James Kantowski and Principal Tracy Cioppa to a small celebration with VMA and Coast Guard representatives
ldquoThe VMA feels it is important to recognize the importance of the maritime industry within our communityrdquo said David White Executive Vice President of the VMA ldquoThe NAMEPA art contest helps brings important issues to the table related to shipping and the environment We are proud to know that Dakota as a local finalist in a national art contest was able to showcase the impact of our shipping industry on the worldrdquo
Dakota was a finalist in 2018 for her interpretation of the theme ldquoBetter Shipping for a Better Futurerdquo and previously in 2017 for her piece based on ldquoConnecting Ships Ports and Peoplerdquo
ldquoLast year I chose to draw a mermaid because I really love mermaids and Norfolk is the city of mermaids so what a perfect combinationrdquo Dakota explained ldquoThe mermaid holding up the globe represents how important the port of Norfolk is to the worldrdquo
Her 2018 artwork features a larger container vessel with sails double propellers and solar panels
ldquoI drew a larger ship so that it could hold more containers meaning
A VISION FOR CHEAPER CLEANER SAFER SHIPPINGless ships in the water I added more eco-friendly features to the ship such as sails for wind power solar panels less dragging paint and double propellersrdquo Dakota explainedldquoWe need the shipping industry but also a cleaner environmentrdquo
She titled the 2018 piece ldquoCheaper Cleaner Saferrdquo inspired by the slogan for the ldquoWider Deeper Saferrdquo project aiming to widen and deepen Virginia waters accommodating for the new era of larger ships Dakota learned about the project from her father who works in the Coast Guard He was also able to provide her the opportunity to tour vessels giving her a better understanding of how the ships work
Dakota discovered the contest through the Coast Guardrsquos information network and received support from her school to pursue the competition
ldquoThis type of contest could definitely fit in with our curriculumrdquo James Kantowski said
NAMEPA began the contest nine years ago partnering with the US Coast Guard
for the past six through the USCGrsquos Partnership in Education Program According to NAMEPA the goal of the competition is ldquoto share the integral role that ships play in ensuring that shipping remains the most environmentally friendly way to transport goods across the world and how shipping is evolving to lessen environmental impactsrdquo
ldquoArt contests like this are not about winning for merdquo Dakota said ldquobut about doing it and having fun

NORFOLK | In August local student Dakota Bitterman 10 was announced as a finalist in the North American Marine Environment Protection Association (NAMEPA) Art Contest for the second year in a row In recognition of her accomplishment the Virginia Maritime Association (VMA) invited Dakota her parents Cori and John Bitterman her 5th grade teacher James Kantowski and Principal Tracy Cioppa to a small celebration with VMA and Coast Guard representatives
ldquoThe VMA feels it is important to recognize the importance of the maritime industry within our communityrdquo said David White Executive Vice President of the VMA ldquoThe NAMEPA art contest helps brings important issues to the table related to shipping and the environment We are proud to know that Dakota as a local finalist in a national art contest was able to showcase the impact of our shipping industry on the worldrdquo
Dakota was a finalist in 2018 for her interpretation of the theme ldquoBetter Shipping for a Better Futurerdquo and previously in 2017 for her piece based on ldquoConnecting Ships Ports and Peoplerdquo
ldquoLast year I chose to draw a mermaid because I really love mermaids and Norfolk is the city of mermaids so what a perfect combinationrdquo Dakota explained ldquoThe mermaid holding up the globe represents how important the port of Norfolk is to the worldrdquo
Her 2018 artwork features a larger container vessel with sails double propellers and solar panels
ldquoI drew a larger ship so that it could hold more containers meaning
A VISION FOR CHEAPER CLEANER SAFER SHIPPINGless ships in the water I added more eco-friendly features to the ship such as sails for wind power solar panels less dragging paint and double propellersrdquo Dakota explainedldquoWe need the shipping industry but also a cleaner environmentrdquo
She titled the 2018 piece ldquoCheaper Cleaner Saferrdquo inspired by the slogan for the ldquoWider Deeper Saferrdquo project aiming to widen and deepen Virginia waters accommodating for the new era of larger ships Dakota learned about the project from her father who works in the Coast Guard He was also able to provide her the opportunity to tour vessels giving her a better understanding of how the ships work
Dakota discovered the contest through the Coast Guardrsquos information network and received support from her school to pursue the competition
ldquoThis type of contest could definitely fit in with our curriculumrdquo James Kantowski said
NAMEPA began the contest nine years ago partnering with the US Coast Guard
for the past six through the USCGrsquos Partnership in Education Program According to NAMEPA the goal of the competition is ldquoto share the integral role that ships play in ensuring that shipping remains the most environmentally friendly way to transport goods across the world and how shipping is evolving to lessen environmental impactsrdquo
ldquoArt contests like this are not about winning for merdquo Dakota said ldquobut about doing it and having fun
