Event Overview:
Maritime Week Americas 2024-Panama
Maritime Week Americas (MWA24) returns to Panama in May 2024 to focus on marine fuel markets in Panama and across the Americas and the Caribbean.
The draught and transit restrictions suffered by the Panama Canal this year, caused by a chronic lack of rainfall to replenish the Canal and its locks, have once again focussed attention on shipping’s reliance on this crucially important waterway. MWA24 will examine the latest developments at the Canal and their long-term, wider impact on shipping and bunker markets further afield.
MWA24 will also take a very close look at alternative marine fuels in terms of supply and demand, with the first LNG bunkering permit having been awarded by the Panama Maritime Authority (AMP), it is only a matter of time before ship-to-ship LNG bunkering begins in earnest at the Pacific end of the Canal, to add to the number of bunkering hubs throughout the Americas where LNG is becoming a truly viable alternative.
Biofuels are now starting to follow LNG’s example as a ‘new’ fuel whose time has come. These and other alternatives will be examined in depth, both during the MWA Conference and in the one-day ship.energy Alternative Fuels Course that precedes it.
MWA24 will also feature some amazing networking events, including a visit to the Panama Canal and – back by popular demand - an onboard tour of a Monjasa bunker tanker.

The ship.energy summit is returning to Spain in 2023 to deliver a high-level debate on the rate of progress in the decarbonisation of shipping and ports. This year’s event will be held on 27 April at the Higher Technical School of Naval Engineers, part of the prestigious Technical University of Madrid. It will continue looking at the global narrative of shipping’s energy transition, and, as always, the conference sessions will reference and be informed by case studies whether they be start-up initiatives or projects that are well on the way to commercialisation and scalability.
The main focus of the summit will be on fuel and technology supply chains. Speakers will discuss the decarbonisation challenges presented in each ‘link’ of these chains and will assess whether sufficient progress is being made to deliver on the IMO’s 2030 and 2050 targets. By taking a deliberately linear approach to these timelines, delegates will be able to assess where there are supply chain gaps to be closed and where the pace of development needs to be stepped up.
