ARACON 2020: What lies ahead?

ARACON is the pre-eminent forum in the globally important Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp (ARA) marine fuels market, where industry stakeholders share their expertise and insights on all aspects of the bunker industry and where they can speak frankly and openly about challenges and changes the sector is facing. And, from the vantage point of late 2020, those challenges will be unprecedented, profound and long-lasting.

ARACON 2020 will look at how the ARA market and the wider shipping and bunker industry can regroup and recover from the economic shocks caused by COVID-19. The conference will also consider how the industry should respond to, and build on, its experiences of the IMO 2020 transition. Importantly, what are the next challenges the industry should be identifying and preparing for?

The primary focus of ARACON is, of course, always on the dynamic bunker markets of Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Antwerp, and the conference will give a platform for informed exchanges between speakers and delegates on key ARA issues, such as bunker quality, fuel supply chain management and transparency, and bunker licensing.

Key themes to be discussed:

• Industry consolidation
• Fuel quality
• Bunker licensing
• The decarbonisation challenge

EXHIBITION

Every physical conference has its side shows and ARACON is no different. It offers exhibition stands where companies can display their products and services, via video presentations, 1-to-1 meetings, and poster displays. Exhibitors can gather visitor data for later follow up and attendees can plan their visits and gather the information they require from each of the exhibitors.
