Maritime Week Americas (MWA) 2022 – Fort Lauderdale
The second Maritime Week Americas (MWA) of 2022 takes place in Fort Lauderdale in Florida, following the first edition in Panama in May. Once again, MWA will be an exciting in-person event that will bring together bunkering and shipping people from all over the Americas and the Caribbean and remind everyone why MWA is still the largest and most popular bunkering conference in the region.
The Fort Lauderdale edition of Maritime Week Americas is focused on new and emerging fuels and technologies, an area that even the most die-hard traditional bunker suppliers are increasingly having to embrace as international regulations and consumer demand ratchet up the pressure on ship owners and charterers to reduce emissions and run on ‘greener’ more sustainable fuels. LNG, biofuels and other new fuels will be examined, as will the emerging supply infrastructure across the Americas and take up on the demand side.
Traditional bunkering in many of the markets within the Americas will also be covered, with a focused look at how these may have changed or adapted to new market conditions in the three years since Maritime Week Americas last came to Fort Lauderdale, in May 2019.
The week will include focused training and workshops ahead of the MWA Conference as well as several spectacular networking events that have for many years been a trademark of this fabulous bunker gathering. A Welcome Reception and Gala Dinner overlooking the Atlantic Ocean will again be complemented by a relaxing boat tour through Fort Lauderdale’s illustrious Intracoastal Waterway and a visit to the impressive Port Everglades, one of the most active ports in the United States of America (USA).
