In celebration of 160th anniversary forPort of Yokohama
Main Venue: Pacifico Yokohama, Minatomirai
Organized by Yokohama Kawasaki International Port (YKIP)PROLOGUE: ABOUT YMF2019
In celebrating the 160th anniversary of the port, YMF 2019 will provide a platform to initiate discussions and inspire ideas among the world’s industries,
with a focus on sustainability, diversity and harmonization of port and maritime industries which are critical components of our global future.
Required implementation of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) 2020 Global Sulphur Cap, which will limit Sulphur pollution from ships to0.5% of mass from January 1, 2020, is rapidly approaching. IMO has also called for member states, and the wider maritime industry including ports, toincrease their efforts to achieve the ambitious targets, adopted by the IMO in 2018, to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from shipping. The
strategy commits to an eventual complete phase-out of GHG emissions from vessels, and at least a 50% reduction in emissions by 2050.
Environmental challenges to our industry are unprecedented. Maintaining sustainability and achieving decarbonization is a critical global challenge.
Key solutions include technology innovations that reduce both emissions and costs. Solutions include the Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI), Ship
Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP), Environmental Ship Index (ESI) as well as the need for global standardization and harmonization of data.
Vessel emissions are not the only challenge, pollution of our oceans, a critical natural resource, are primarily generated from land-based activities
including manufacturing, lifestyle related behaviors or natural disasters. Garbage in the ocean, plastic among the worst, and its impact to the global
Eco-system is a shared responsibility of our global society that requires urgent attention.
Diversity, which encompasses many aspects, is also a critical 21st century challenge. Achieving equal rights and opportunities for all humankind is acomplex challenge. While much progress has been made on this issue, it is far from fully resolved. In recognition and support of the importance of thisissue, and its impact on our future as a global society, "diversity" is a core theme of YMF2019.
One significant step in addressing environmental challenges, one that we can start immediately, is to promote LNG as a more environmental friendly
marine fuel. In addition to reduced emissions this step also increasingly possesses a currency value as major global brands and beneficial cargo owners
2demand cleaner and sustainable logistics chains.
Harmonization is essential to success. It is critical between port and maritime industries, the Eco-system of both land and sea and to finally achievingtrue diversity. In the maritime industry, harmonization of technology innovation, commercial demands and global commitment to sustainability canprovide the future our next generations deserve.
The focus of YMF2019 is to challenge the maritime industry to identify and discuss solutions to the global challenges of the 21st century. By inviting
highly respected representatives from the maritime industry including vessel owners and operators, port entities, maritime support services, LNG
stakeholders, industrial associations, scholars and regulatory groups. YMF2019 will provide a platform to facilitate discussions that encompass thevarious aspects of the industry.
YMF2019 is organized by YKIP, endorsed by numerous authorities, organizations and companies. We are driven by enthusiasm and vision to provide an
opportunity for the maritime industry to realize positive and actionable results. YMF 2019 is not a profit-based event however we do rely on
sponsorships and nominal registration fees to offset costs and assist in providing a positive, enjoyable and innovative experience for all attendees.
YMF2019 will be held October 21 through October 25, a very beautiful season in Yokohama. It is also the week between quarter-final and semi-final
games of the 2019 Rugby World Cup. Combined with the exciting programs, events and networking opportunities planned for YMF 2019, we anticipate
an informative and rewarding experience for all attendees.
