As Mr. Mitropoulos the Secretary General of IMO has stated it is now generally accepted that "The time for apportioning blame as to who is responsible for the state of the planet has passed. Now it is time for action. Developed and developing countries, industrialized and emerging economies alike are left with no option other than to get together and, together, work out solutions that will serve well the good cause of reversing the route to planet destruction." The environment must be considered in every aspect of the design and operation of all shipping, from construction all the way through to decommissioning. The earlier these issues are addressed in the design stage, the more cost effective and successful they are likely to be at reducing the environmental impact of shipping industry. However, much can also be undertaken on existing vessels to reduce the impact of the remainder of their lives. The IMO is systematically introducing regulations on a number of topics to reduce the impact of the marine industry on both the sea and atmosphere, including exhaust emissions, anti-fouling, and ballast water amongst others.

The final ratification of MARPOL Annex VI has raised concerns that bunker fuel quality in many of Europeans key ports could deteriorate without improvement in fuel blending techniques. Under the revised regulations, the requirement to blend residual fuel to 1.0% sulphur at the lowest possible cost could result in an increasing number of low sulphur bunker fuel supplies. In order to meet 1.0% sulphur specifications, intermediate fuel oil (IFO) with higher sulphur content is blended with low sulphur cleaner fuel, or distillates, as part of a delicate blending process undertaken by the bunker supplier. The workshop focuses on blending and component selection as well as supply and demand of all types of bunkers, storage and distribution economics, quality standards, sampling and test methods.

Major retailers are taking an increasingly proactive approach to sustainable procurement, including carbon footprint and waste reduction, plus ethical sourcing policies. While current initiatives are largely voluntary and market-driven, more stringent policy regimes may also loom on the horizon at both national and international level. Speakers at Cool Logistics 2010 will explore the impact of these concerns on perishable logistics and transport, including maritime, air and landside distribution, at a time of continued pressure to take operational costs out of cold supply chains. More than ever, efficiency appears to be the mantra - but what does this really mean in practice and can common efficiency solutions be found to address sustainability and cost concerns? The conference will also review the extent to which predicted transport capacity constraints � particularly for reefer containers � are impacting perishable supply chain planning and execution, and how to respond in the short and longer term.
