27AUG2019 - NEWS - MAJ, IBIA To Host Official Opening Of The IBIA Caribbean Bunker Conference

Robert Montague, minister of transport and mining, will be the keynote speaker at the official opening of the International Bunker Industry Association (IBIA) Caribbean Bunker Conference being hosted by Maritime Authority of Jamaica in collaboration with IBIA under the theme ‘The Caribbean Journey to 2020 Compliance’. The conference will be held from September 10-12, 2019, at the Iberostar hotel in Montego Bay.

This conference follows on the success of the IBIA Conference held in Montego Bay in April 2018. It is positioned at a key point on the global IMO 2020 timeline, when many vessels will have just started their transition to 0.50 per cent sulfur bunker fuels, and is therefore one of the first events where delegates can benefit from this real-world experience of IMO 2020 sulphur cap impact.
