After a hiatus of two years, Indian Register of Shipping hosted its India Advisory Committee Meeting as well as Customers and Stakeholder Meet in Mumbai on Friday, 16th September 2022, which saw good participation from the maritime fraternity. IRS’ Advisory Committee Meeting and Customer & Stakeholders Meet is a regular annual feature and a go to event in the Indian maritime calendar.

The meet saw good representation of the maritime industry participants and academia. A presentation on the recent updates with respect to fleet growth, upcoming regulations, new services and initiatives, was well received. The topics covered included our efforts towards Decarbonisation, study on Alternate Fuels, IMO and EU regulations as well as our future plans.

Earlier in the day, IRS’ India Advisory Committee Meeting was held where leading maritime industry professionals provided feedback and guidance to IRS for its growth.

Several significant suggestions were received during the meeting and are being actively considered for implementation.
