Details

Practitioners from the maritime industry are invited to a TRB webinar on Tuesday, August 13, 2019, from 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM ET. The webinar will discuss the International Maritime Organization (IMO)’s 0.5% reduced-sulfur global vessel fuel standard, which goes into effect on January 1, 2020. This new standard may save lives, impose global costs, and create disruptive effects across the maritime supply chain. Presenters will examine some of the projected potential impacts of the new IMO standard, which may help practitioners adjust to the effects to the maritime sector and its cross-sector supply chain. 

This webinar was organized by the TRB Standing Committee on Ports and Channels.
