Next to the meetings of the IAPH Technical Committees, in-person meetings of the IAPH Clean Marine Fuels (CMF) and Environmental Ship Index (ESI) projects are also scheduled to be held in Vancouver. The CMF working group is meeting 12 and 13 May, with a plenary session discussing fuel timelines, the future CMF roadmap, promotion of new LNG bunker checklists and the all-fuels audit tool for bunker operations. This is followed by dedicated workstreams on safety and port empowerment. On 20 May, an ESI stakeholders’ assembly and incentive providers meeting will be held. Incentive providers will be invited to discuss and adopt the proposed way forward regarding the development of ESI 2.0 and the ESI at-berth module. Members interested in having an update on the ESI project can attend the regional breakfast sessions which will be held on Monday 16 and Tuesday 17 May. The CMF work will be highlighted in the conference session on emerging bunkering ports for zero carbon fuels on 17 May.
