The IMO Net Zero Framework is a groundbreaking, binding framework aimed at steering global shipping toward achieving net-zero by 2050.
Join us in November in Amsterdam to learn how and why this milestone regulation will reshape global shipping, and feed into IMCA’s future engagement with policymakers on behalf of the offshore contracting sector.
Our Seas of Change event takes place on 12 November, just weeks after the Net Zero Framework – the first of its kind to regulate emissions across an entire global industry – is expected to be adopted by IMO member states.
This must-attend technical seminar will explore this and the broader regulatory landscape for offshore vessels, including other emissions trading schemes being proposed by the European Union and the United Kingdom, and new regulations on the bunkering of fuel.
Attendees will gain a clear understanding of upcoming legislative changes, the challenges these may pose, and how the offshore sector can align and respond collectively in dialogue with EU and IMO bodies.
Why should you attend?
• Get the latest updates on new and upcoming regulations tailored to the offshore sector.
• Gain expert insights into the practical implications for compliance and operations.
• Participate in peer discussions to share concerns and strategies.
• Help shape the industry’s collective response to regulatory change.
Who should attend?
• Offshore vessel operators and shipowners
• Class societies and fuel suppliers
• Government and regulatory bodies
• Industry organisations and stakeholders
• Smaller dredging companies involved in offshore operations
