Ships have been trading in international waters since times immemorial. Before the advent of aviation, ships were the only reliable means of transportation for interocean or intercontinental trade. Even today, 90% of global trade is dependent on shipping. Maritime supply chains play a crucial role in global trade, connecting producers, manufacturers, and consumers across the world through the transportation of goods by sea. However, these supply chains can also be vulnerable to disruptions that can have significant impacts on businesses, including freight rates, and consumers. During the pandemic, when the rest of the world had come to a standstill for a brief period, cargo ships and seafarers still carried on with their jobs.

The operator of a ship is tasked with safely performing a challenging job at the highest level of efficiency. The owner is responsible for maintaining costs to maximize profitability, coupled with an adherence to safety for crew and the environment. Data monitoring and collection provide the raw material to drive fuel efficiencies at all levels. The operational decisions made on a daily basis – how to plan and conduct a voyage, perform regular maintenance, monitor fuel consumption efficiencies and comply with regulations – impact all outcomes. Accurate vessel performance evaluation is essential for continuous up-to-date Fuel Oil Consumption (FOC) prediction, hull and propeller cleaning decisions and any assessment of hull/propeller adaptations. The gradual reduction in vessel performance over time is primarily due to the fouling of the hull and occasionally underperformance of the propulsion installation.

By attending CSN events, you’ll be exposing yourself to new ideas, perspectives, and innovations, accessing valuable knowledge and insights, and giving yourself the opportunity to meet with industry professionals, experts, and like-minded individuals. Nowhere else can you increase your professional visibility, establish business connections, access market intelligence and competitor analysis, and walk away with invaluable connections and potential for partnerships to enhance your organisation’s future.

This is going to be the first CSN Greece ‘Maritime Supply Chain and Vessels Performance Forum’ in Athens and we would like to invite you to support the event. There are still speakers slots and sponsorships available and those interested please contact us at csn@cyprusshippingnews.com.
