The Maritime Association of the Port of New York and New Jersey (MAPONY/NJ) recognizes a critical transformation in the maritime sector: The urgent shift from traditional fossil fuels to innovative carbon-neutral and zero-carbon alternatives. This transition is not just a trend, it is essential for the sustainability of our industry. Achieving this ambitious goal requires a united effort among all port stakeholders. Together, we must build a comprehensive and resilient network of port and bunkering infrastructure.

Given the increasing demands on the Port of New York and New Jersey, it is vital for marine stakeholders, government entities, and providers to come together to rapidly enhance our storage, bunkering, and fuel transfer systems. This collaborative approach is not only necessary; it presents a strategic opportunity to innovate and strengthen our maritime capabilities. By working in unison, we can ensure our infrastructure meets current demands while remaining adaptable to future challenges.

On Tuesday, November 19th, 2024, MAPONY/NJ will host a symposium that brings together both public and private stakeholders in the maritime industry. This event aims to foster collaboration and dialogue on the pressing trends, challenges, and opportunities related to the adoption of alternative maritime fuels. We encourage all participants to engage actively, share their insights, and contribute their perspectives, reinforcing our commitment to collective progress.

The Alternative Marine Fuels Symposium will serve as a vital platform for uniting fuel consumers, producers, and suppliers, all focused on enhancing the Port of New York and New Jersey’s capacity to embrace alternative marine fuels. Stakeholders will collaborate to share insights and strategies, positioning our port for a greener, more efficient future.
