The Motorship’s Propulsion & Future Fuels Conference will take place from 14-16 November 2018 at the Empire Riverside Hotel in Hamburg, Germany. Celebrating 40 years of The Motorship’s Propulsion & Emissions conference, and nearly 10 years of the Gas Fuelled Ships conference, 2018 will see the launch of one large, combined and enhanced event consisting of plenary sessions and separate streams. Over the past decade or so the Gas Fuelled Ships conference has explored the evolution of not just LNG but other clean, low-flashpoint fuels, to the point where they can no longer be considered in isolation from more mainstream propulsion choices. With the 2020 global sulphur cap approaching, operating within the constraints of the Energy Efficient Design Index and with tighter CO2 emissions measures almost certain by 2023, these so-called alternative fuels are now an essential feature in ship owner’s propulsion considerations. The Motorship’s events are changing to reflect this shift, and to take advantages of emerging synergies in discussions around propulsion and alternative fuels. For the first time in 2018, the long-standing Propulsion & Emissions Conference will be run alongside Gas Fuelled Ships Conference, under the new banner of The Motorship Propulsion and Future Fuels. The new, enhanced conference will combine the audiences from Propulsion & Emissions and Gas Fuelled Ships. Over two conference days attendees will benefit from insightful technical presentations either in streams or plenary sessions, with the event culminating in a technical visit to a hybrid powered ship on day three.

What to expect
The Motorship Propulsion and Future Fuels Conference 2018 may be the first of its kind, but the topics covered will be familiar to previous attendees at the longstanding Propulsion & Emissions and Gas Fuelled Ships conferences.The event will take place over two days and will consist of joint sessions and two separate streams which will maximise the topics and focus on the specifics of either propulsion technology or low flashpoint/alternative fuels.Over the past decade or so the Gas Fuelled Ships conference has explored the evolution of not just LNG but other clean, low-flashpoint fuels, to the point where they can no longer be considered in isolation from more mainstream propulsion choices. With the 2020 global sulphur cap approaching, operating within the constraints of the Energy Efficient Design Index and with tighter CO2 emissions measures almost certain by 2023, these so-called alternative fuels are now an essential feature in ship owner’s propulsion considerations.Propulsion & Emissions, the longest running technical conference in the maritime sector, was due to celebrate its 40th edition in 2018. Propulsion and Future Fuels will continue to address solutions for efficient and clean propulsion technology, and will look ahead to ways of decarbonising the maritime shipping sector.The Motorship Propulsion and Future Fuels Conference is expected to attract a 250-strong audience to the Riverside Empire Hotel 14-16 November 2018 in Hamburg. Its goal is to provide up to the minute industry developments with decision makers from the ship operating sector, ship design and construction companies, fuel, equipment and technology suppliers plus classification and policy-making organisations.
