Supported Event – Maritime Week Africa
January 23 @ 8:00 am – January 25 @ 5:00 pm
IBIA is pleased to share with you that we act as a Supporting Organisation of Maritime Week Africa in Cape Town on 23-25 January 2024 to mark its 15th anniversary.
Our colleague Tahra Seargeant, Regional Manager, Africa and one of the founding members of WISTA will participate at the WISTA panel, where she will give us her insights about diversity in the shipping industry.
Maritime Week Africa is the longest-running and one of the most popular bunkering events on the African continent. It has earned a reputation for attracting the most eminent industry speakers, bringing together key bunker buyers and suppliers, as well as ports, refiners, regulators and other leading maritime professionals to highlight the unique issues and opportunities relating to the African bunkering industry.
The packed conference programme will focus on traditional fuels as well as new and emerging fuels and technologies, an area that everyone in the shipping and bunkering sectors – in Africa and beyond – is now having to embrace as international regulations and consumer demand drive shipowners and charterers to reduce emissions and run on ‘greener’ more sustainable fuels. It will also examine how better collaboration among industry stakeholders and regulators – in South Africa, the African Continent and beyond – might benefit the industry at large.
The week will include a selection of shipping, bunkering and alternative fuels training courses, a waterborne tour of Cape Town Harbour, and some spectacular networking opportunities.
We warmly encourage our local or international members to join the Maritime Week Africa.
