The International Bunker conference (IBC) has remained a proactive forum since its introduction in 1979 organized by the Norwegian Shipping Academy, and later The Norwegian School of Management, BI.
From 2017 IBC has been organized as a non-profit cooperative by industry enthusiasts
IBC is committed to the tradition of having speakers with in-depth presentations of papers on issues of importance to the international bunker industry, but also introduce new and relevant topics for the audience.
We are proud to present our speakers at IBC from 2017 until today
