The second regional workshop of MTCC-Africa (29-31 October) provided an opportunity for updates on the project in the region, including ongoing pilot projects, such as data collection relating to energy efficiency of ships and ports.
More than 160 people from 64 countries recently met for the third annual GMN conference, held together with World Maritime University (WMU) at the University's premises in Malmö, Sweden (8-10 October). The five MTCCs reported on their pilot projects which assess a range of measures to help cut emissions in the maritime sector.
MTCC-Pacific successfully concluded its Second Regional Workshop in Yangon, Myanmar.
Around 70 participants from 14 countries in the Asian region attended the workshop, including maritime and energy efficiency specialists. They shared presentations and discussed the centre's progress in delivering technology innovation, capacity building, regional outreach, exchange and communications.
MTCC-Pacific successfully concluded its Second Regional Workshop in Apia, Samoa, on 16 and 17 September, with representatives from 19 countries totalling 220 participants of which 26% were women.
The objective of the pilot project is to support selected developing countries in limiting and reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from their shipping sector through technical assistance/capacity-building to promote low-carbon and energy efficient shipping technologies and operations. The Shanghai Maritime University (SMU) was selected as the host institution of MTCC for Asia (MTCC-Asia) in December 2016.
