Sailor Today was a media partner for the event, which was graced by the Secretary-General of the International Maritime Organization (IMO), Mr. Arsenio Dominguez, as the Chief Guest. As a seafarer, it was both enlightening and encouraging to witness the maritime sector's dedication to sustainability, digital transformation, and decarbonization. This event reinforced the urgent need for us, the frontline workforce, to adapt to new technologies and embrace eco-friendly practices.
A STUDENT-DRIVEN FUTURE IN GREEN SHIPPING
The conclave began with an inspiring keynote by Dr. Malini Shankar, Vice Chancellor of the Indian Maritime University (IMU), who emphasized the role of young maritime professionals in driving sustainable innovations. Mr. Mohd Emaad Khan from IMU Kolkata presented a promising solution for shipboard wastewater treatment using Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs). The idea of integrating MFCs with Sewage Treatment Plants (STPs) presents an opportunity to reduce energy consumption, lower operational costs, and contribute to carbon-neutral shipping. This innovative approach could significantly improve onboard waste management, a crucial concern for seafarers who experience firsthand the challenges of waste disposal at sea.
The Maritime Energy Transition Landscape was explored by Mr. Moosa Minhaj Vu and Yash Nagaonkar from IMU MPC, who synthesized technical insights on alternative fuels and emission reduction strategies. As seafarers, adapting to these new fuels and energy systems will require extensive training and awareness, ensuring we are well-equipped to operate future green vessels.
