The keynote address will be given by Mr Joachim Konrad, Deputy Chairman of the Executive Board, Hamburg Süd, whilst the Conference Introduction will be made by Uta Ordemann, Managing Director, VDR. In addition, Max Johns, Director Public Relations, VDR, will chair the Conference for the two days.
This year, the highly successful Shipowners’ debate is entitled ‘Reducing emissions to zero!’ and will feature presentations from Hans-Heinrich Conzen, Managing Director, TT-Line GmbH; Mr Christian Suhr, Managing Director, Ahrenkiel Ship Management GmBH and Dr Pierre Sames of Germanischer Lloyd, followed by what will no doubt be a colourful debate!
Networking opportunities at the Conference will be plentiful, not least at the gala dinner which will be sponsored by Castrol Marine. The dinner will be held at the fabulous new International Maritime Museum which is housed in Hamburg’s oldest preserved warehouse. The Museum gives spectacular views of the harbour and is home to the largest private maritime collection in the world. However the highlight of the evening will no doubt be the special appearance made by a Castrol Ambassador - a winning performer from the world of football! As well as being able to tour the Museum, guests will also have the opportunity to participate in a question and answer session with the star guest, whose name will be revealed imminently!
The 2010 Motorship Propulsion and Emissions Conference is the one event you should attend to keep up to date with the latest developments in marine technology, legislation and other key issues whilst also offering fantastic networking opportunities!

The 2009 Motorship Propulsion and Emissions Conference was judged by all to have been a resounding success. In such uncertain times it was remarkable that the event attracted far more delegates than even the organisers had anticipated. Over 150 delegates attended the event, and many had to be turned away as the venue was oversubscribed. Read the review...
