SUMMARY:Emission Discussion Night
DESCRIPTION:Event Description On the 27th of November 2020 the first “Mar
 itime Discussion Night” will take place from 17:00 to 19:00. The Maritim
 e Discussion Night is an event that offers Maritime Master Students the op
 portunity to actively participate in a discussion and debate about emissio
 ns in order to learn about the different (political) viewpoints and to div
 e into the changes that we will face as future engineers. Why At the TU De
 lft we are taught the academic material with regards to emissions\, but to
  avoid a colored (political) view the emission debate is not fully covered
 . However\, as students we are aware of the existence of regulatory\, soci
 al\, technical\, financial and many more challenges and conflicts. By mean
 s of this Discussion Night we hope to deepen this topic and to open our ey
 es for the broadness of emissions. The goal of the event is to get an acti
 ve discussion started among the students about green(er) shipping\, and to
  introduce to this discussion not only the technical aspects which are tau
 ght at university but to widen the insight to policy making as well as to 
 economic aspects. Panel For this expert panel we invite two academics\, a 
 fleet operator\, policy maker/advisor\, and two politicians. The event wil
 l be led by Marnix Krikke from Netherland Maritime Technology. With this m
 ixed panel we hope to provide the students with a broad and knowledgeable 
 expert panel and by that an evening of fruitful discussions! Moderator Mar
 nix Krikke (NMT) Scientist with tech./eng. background P.de Vos (TU Delft) 
 Scientist with environmental background Vincent Doedée (Mr. Sustainabilit
 y) Policy maker/policy adviser Nick Lurkin (KVNR) Fleet operator/owner Wie
 ger Duursema (Wagenborg) Politicians TBD Program The event consists of two
  parts. First\, is a discussion which is separated by topics to be able to
  focus attention on separate subjects while also listening to the opinion 
 of panel members who are experts in other fields. During the first part th
 e following aspects of maritime emissions will be addressed: Technical asp
 ects Is there a magic bean for a green solution? What are the restraining 
 factors to create novel solutions for green shipping? Can compensating emi
 ssions be an alternative for zero emission shipping? Policy aspect Why is 
 shipping not included in the Paris agreement? Why are the ECA (Emission co
 ntrolled areas) covering only a very small fraction of the shipping routes
 ? Will the MRV (Monitor\, Report\, Verify) or DSC (Data Collection System)
  regulation cause significant change among charterers selecting cleaner sh
 ips? Are the regulations set by IMO reachable with the current technologie
 s without significantly compromising the economical state of the owners? E
 conomical aspect What is the most efficient investment to reduce greenhous
 e gas emissions? A (future) superyachts owner can have an idea and go for 
 an innovative solution (without any consequences). Does that stand for com
 mercial shipping? The second part will be a follow up discussion\, debate 
 on the previous topics in smaller groups in breakout rooms. Each breakout 
 room is joined by a panel member who will talk about his or her viewpoints
 \, answer the questions of students. In this part questions such as below 
 could be covered: Can we separate legislation\, owner’s/operator’s res
 ponsibility\, and engineering solutions on the path of a greener future? W
 hat are the current ‘bottlenecks’ against emission improvement? What d
 o you think is the reputation of the shipping industry with respect to emi
 ssions and if it is negative\, how can we change it? What is in it for stu
 dents? Get information on maritime emissions Address your questions to exp
 erts on their field By registering have a chance to win presents Get a ref
 und up to 10 EUR for your dinner that night (limited number\, first come f
 irst served) Get Colloquia points
