The European Commission’s (EC) proposals to cut shipping fuel sulphur content on short sea routes in northern European waters come into effect from 2015, but how far advanced are ro-ro operators in adopting the changes? With energy consumption, emissions and environmental regulation all high on the agenda at this year’s RORO event in Gothenburg this May, the planning starts now.
With so many different laws affecting them around the world, the challenge facing shipping lines is identifying just how they implement changes to their operations. To help businesses prepare for some of the biggest developments in their history, representatives from the Port of Gothenburg, Scandlines Deutschland, NORTH SEA RoRo, DFDS, Stena RoRo and Wallenius Wilhelmsen have been announced as key speakers at the free-to-attend RORO Conference.
