Attending and presenting at the Indonesia Maritime Week 2025 in Jakarta was a rewarding experience!

We had an impressive turnout for our Seminar on ‘Inventory of Hazardous Material (IHM): Lifecycle Management of Ships’ & ‘IHM Certification’, which was organized in collaboration with the China Classification Society (CCS).

Our expert-led Seminar was astutely developed to convey vital insights regarding the key IHM regulatory requirements of the ratified Hong Kong Convention (HKC), which is set to come into effect in June 2025. As the Maritime industry increasingly prioritizes sustainable practices and regulatory compliance, comprehending the complexities of the IHM requirements remain essential.

During one day of the Maritime week, we also participated in the insightful Ship Recycling Committee meeting, which proved to be a highly effective forum for exchange of ideas and industry knowledge on the critical role of IHM compliance in meeting Responsible Ship Recycling (RSR) targets.

MARITEC-NAIAS provides leading HKC Compliance Services (IHM Prep & IHM Maintenance), Asbestos Surveys, Management, Certification & Removal services, and RSR Supervision services & solutions.

Participating in BARI SHIP 2025 at Imbari, Japan, was a refreshing experience!

Engaging in fruitful discussions with both existing clients and other industry players alike, was the highlight of the event. It provided us with the chance to thoroughly explore how our comprehensive solutions can meet their requirements.

Additionally, it enabled us to assess the areas where market shortcomings or challenges are present – largely contributing to the sparks of innovation, which fuel the development of our new and enhanced solutions.

Our two seminars – ‘FuelEU Maritime Regulation: Financial Modelling for Cost Optimisation’ and ‘Best Practices in BioFuel Usage’ – were particularly well-received.

The first seminar focused on the Fuel EU Maritime Regulation (effective from 01 January 2025) highlighted the advantages of reduced operating costs achieved through compliance with reduction targets. A demonstration to apply to the regulation’s operational mechanism allowed attendees to witness the effects of adopting about 12% of B24 in lowering overall expenses including EU ETS allowances despite having a cost premium for conventional fuel.

The second seminar focused on the use of biofuels discussed key issues related to the management and risks of biofuels in the shipping sector. To understand the unique risks linked to biofuels, we provided an in-depth explanation of their specific “FAME” behaviours and characteristics such as possible degradation of Oxidation Stability and possible increase in Fatty Acids over time.

On the last day of the Expo, children of all ages visited our booths, instantly injecting extra joy and laughter into the atmosphere! We were thrilled to meet the young innovators of the future, and it was our pleasure to share a few treats and gifts with them.

MARITEC-NAIAS has the unique capabilities to fulfil customers’ Marine Energy testing requirements (for conventional fuels, BioFuels and Methanol) and Environmental Compliance Testing needs. For further information on how we can assist you, please contact us via email at admin@maritec.com.sg

On 14 May 2025, the Responsible Ship Recycling (RSR) Forum was held in London and attended by our Global Sales Director Toby Brooks and West Europe Sales Manager Konstantina Aravantinou.

The forum focused on navigating evolving regulations and expanding ship recycling options, influencing core service offerings of MARITEC-NAIAS in Marine Environmental Compliance.

Toby expressed, it was a productive day, where decision makers and industry stakeholders convened to address RSR needs, including the impact of forthcoming regulations. Most notably the ongoing debates on ships recycling over Hong Kong and Basel Convention, debating potential overlaps and even conflicts between the two conventions. The forum also delved into topics like ESG reporting, finance institution’s roles in sustainability, circular economies and industry stakeholders’ responsibilities in steel recycling.

The day’s success was fundamentally a collective effort to review industry progress and the important milestones ahead in responsible recycling and decarbonization objectives.

We thank Norton Rose Fulbright law firm for a fantastic venue and the forum organizer’s, Riviera, for an inspiring forum!
