This event is part of  Southampton’s first annual sustainability week and should  provide a stimulating discussion to create opportunities for change while showcasing the maritime industry’s presence in Southampton. Southampton sustainability week is a series of city-wide events which encourage sustainable behaviour change by increasing awareness of issues and celebrating progress to date. The week is organised by a group of volunteers and headed by the founder Jenny Barnes.
A distinguished panel of industry experts and academics will discuss the challenges the maritime industry faces in achieving environmental sustainability, guided by structured questions from the chair, Professor Ajit Shenoi, University of Southampton director of the SMMI. The discussion topics will include  Ship design,  Maritime law,  Regulation and innovation,  Fleet operation,  Waste management.
