MPCC recently attended Singapore Maritime Week 2024 to connect with maritime professionals and investigate the latest developments and initiatives within the industry. Here are our insights from some of the key conferences held during the event.
Zero-Emission Shipping Mission:
Global shipping leaders came together to underline the industries commitment to achieving zero-emission shipping, emphasising their commitment to commercially viable zero-emission fuels for ocean-going vessels. These initiatives dedicated to sustainability will involve the entire maritime value chain and hold significant implications for efficient maintenance and the aftermarket industry. As maritime vessels transition towards cleaner technologies, such as energy-efficient compressors, pumps, and sewage treatment systems, there is a growing demand for sustainable maintenance solutions.
The aftermarket industry plays a critical role in maintaining the reliability and durability of essential systems in the maritime sector, supporting sustainability efforts. As vessels approach the end of their lifespan, choosing aftermarket spares becomes the most cost-effective option, often saving up to 75% on repair costs. Additionally, dependable spares can significantly enhance system longevity.
As a prominent supplier in this field, MPCC emphasises quality and affordability across its wide product range. This ensures that vessels have improved access to reliable components at reasonable prices, leading to extended service life. MPCC’s commitment is reinforced by its advanced logistics capabilities, resulting in reduced downtime, fewer breakdowns, and lower maintenance costs for shipowners. Ultimately, this contributes to resource conservation, emissions reduction, and waste reduction, fostering a cleaner and more efficient maritime sector.
Designing the IMO GHG mid-term measures & Navigating Environmental Regulations:
Discussions revolved around designing the International Maritime Organisation’s (IMO) greenhouse gas (GHG) mid-term measures. These measures aim to mitigate the environmental impact of the maritime industry and contribute to global efforts to combat climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions from ships.
As these measures take shape, MPCC is actively facilitating the implementation and upkeep of emission-reducing technologies. Furthermore, the company is expanding its product ranges and partnering with genuine brands who prioritise sustainability. This has improved MPCC’s ability to enhance maintenance support throughout the entire lifecycle, moving beyond traditional end-of-life solutions typically associated with aftermarket spares.
By doing so, MPCC aims to support vessel operators in adopting more sustainable practices from the outset. Additionally, the company is broadening its product ranges to supply complete replacements boasting impressive energy-saving metrics, such as reducing energy consumption by up to 15%. This comprehensive approach, coupled with a focus on outstanding customer service, MPCC is supporting maritime operators
through regulatory changes worldwide while contributing to a more environmentally conscious sector.
Networking and Collaboration:
As we continue to expand our offerings, MPCC remains committed to promoting collaboration and innovation within the industry. Our participation in events like Singapore Maritime Week reflects our dedication to driving positive change and ensuring the seamless operation of vital air and fluid handling systems worldwide.
If you’d like to discuss these or any other topics, join us at the Posidonia International Shipping Exhibition on June 3rd – 7th, as we continue to lead the way in advancing sustainable aftermarket practices and enhancing system efficiency in the maritime sector.
