ACI’s 16th Vessel Efficiency and Fuel Management summit will be

taking place in Houston, USA on the 21-22 June 2017.

With the recently enforced Emission Control Area (ECA) and fuel /

sulphur regulations across the world, this conference will specifical-

ly focus on the regulations affecting vessel operations and compa-

nies in US Waters. We will further scrutinise the technologies avail-

able to assist with compliance as well as innovations to track and

manage performance and specific fuel-efficiency improving equip-

ment, plus analysis and practical feedback of how to increase over-

all efficiency and performance by minimising the fleet’s energy

demands.

Essentially, the focus will be on how shipowners & the maritime

industry can benefit from higher Return on Investment and opti-

mise their performance with the latest vessel efficiency technology

available. The two day event will bring together key industry stake-
