The partnership MOU will focus on addressing the following key areas:<\/p>\n<p>Research and Development: Collaborate on research initiatives, studies, and projects relevant to the bunker\/marine energy industry and maritime sector.<\/p>\n<p>Information Sharing: Share relevant information, publications, and data that may be beneficial to the members of both organisations.<\/p>\n<p>Training and Education: Explore opportunities for joint training programs, seminars, and educational initiatives to enhance the knowledge and skills of professionals in the maritime and bunker\/marine energy industry.<\/p>\n<p>Influence: Work together on efforts to address common issues and challenges faced by the industry.<\/p>\n<p>Commenting on the MoU, <strong>Alexander Prokopakis, Executive Director of IBIA<\/strong>, stated:<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>This partnership between IBIA and BIMCO marks an important step towards addressing the pressing challenge of decarbonisation in the shipping industry. The collaboration underscores the industry\u2019s collective commitment to navigating towards a greener future for maritime operations.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>David Loosley, BIMCO Secretary General &amp; CEO<\/strong> said:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>As we work towards the checkpoints and targets of the updated GHG strategy of the IMO, working across all sectors that influence and support decarbonisation of shipping will be key. Our ships will be relying on many different fuel solutions in the process and working toward the safety and availability of those is crucial.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n<p>IBIA and BIMCO are committed to driving progress towards a more sustainable and environmentally responsible future for the global shipping industry.<\/p>\n<p><em>About IBIA:<\/em><br \/>\n<em>The International Bunker Industry Association (IBIA) is the voice of the global bunker industry, representing the interests of bunker suppliers, traders, brokers, shipowners, port authorities, and other stakeholders.
