IBIA pleased to announce Honourable Matthew Opoku Prempeh, Minister of Energy of Ghana, and Dr. Harry T. Conway, IMO MEPC Chair, as speakers at IBIA Africa Bunker and Shipping Conference in Accra

The International Bunker Industry Association (IBIA) is delighted to unveil the esteemed keynote speakers for the highly anticipated IBIA Africa Bunker and Shipping Conference, set to take place from 5 – 7 September 2023 in Accra, Ghana, a prominent maritime hub in West Africa.

Honourable Matthew Opoku Prempeh, Minister of Energy of Ghana, will grace the event as the keynote speaker, bringing his profound insights to address critical issues within the energy and shipping sectors in Africa. His distinguished presence adds immense value and underlines the significance of this conference in promoting sustainable practices and future-oriented strategies for the region’s maritime industry.

Joining as the guest speaker is Dr. Harry T. Conway, Chair of the Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) at the International Maritime Organisation (IMO). Dr. Conway’s recent historic moment as he chaired the MEPC 80 Committee meeting, where the IMO’s Revised GHG Strategy was adopted, sets a momentous tone for our conference. His expertise in shaping the strategy’s ambitious goal of achieving net-zero GHG emissions from international shipping by or around 2050 will prove invaluable in addressing sustainability challenges and driving the future of the African bunker and shipping industries.

The conference promises a diverse array of discussions, covering specialized topics such as the physical supply chain, financing the marine industry, future fuels in bunkering, bunker quality and quantity, and regulatory issues. It serves as a golden platform for delegates to interact with industry experts, expand their professional network, and gain a deeper understanding of the latest developments and challenges in the bunker and shipping sectors.

This remarkable event will feature an impressive lineup of speakers, offering unparalleled insights and fostering engaging discussions.
