Alternative Fuels: Management

Pave the way and strengthen your understanding of Alternative Fuels and what it means for you and your fleet.

With environmental regulations tightening and the global call for climate action growing louder, it’s imperative for professionals in the shipping sector to stay ahead of the curve. Step into the future of fuelling, with our Alternative Fuels: Management course, providing an overview of alternative fuels in the maritime sector, focusing on the strategic, regulatory, and organisational considerations facing shipping companies as the industry transitions away from conventional fuels.

It is designed to support those involved in decision-making, policy, planning, and oversight, rather than the day-to-day operation of shipboard fuel systems.
