IBC in short

The International Bunker Conference (IBC) has become a world renowned forum for the international bunker industry. 

The previous IBCs have focused on the industry milestones and challenges presented by MARPOL Annex VI. Challenges consequences and opportunities approaching new regulations in the bunker industry.

2020 hit us in a totally different way than we expected. Was Sulphur really that important? IBC 2022 looked at the next chapter in the bunker industry with successful participation and great presenters.  

With GHG emissions and future fuels filling our everyday marine updates, it is very easy to forget that we still work in a fossil fuel world. The decisions we make today will not only shape our short term emissions but also our long term survival.   

IBC 2023 will focus on surviving 2023 and how to prepare for beyond
