MarineLog hosted the Global Greenship conference September 17 & 18, 2009 at the Washington Marriott Hotel. This environmental conference had a number of interesting presentations and covered a wide spectrum of environmental concerns.
Matters discussed were the coming North America ECA (coastal and inland waters) and environmental compliance enforcement from the perspective of the USCG and the US Dept. of Justice. Green issues covered were exhaust gas scrubbing, marine paints, hybrid propulsion, inland barge transport's smaller carbon footprint and the proposed ballast water discharge standards by the USCG.
I was surprised to be the only Canadian at this conference.
