Jin Yu Cheong, Head of Baltic Exchange Asia, was invited to take part in a panel discussion on the future of new fuels at the Japan Maritime Daily Singapore Seminar, the Future of Shipping with Alternative Fuels, held by the leading maritime newspaper in Japan, Japan Maritime Daily (JMD) on 16 September 2024.

Co-organised with the Singapore Exchange (SGX), the seminar, which held the theme of ‘New Era Fuels for Ships’, showed the future of new fuels through the initiatives of major shipping companies and panel discussions. SGX Group Director, Kenneth Ng, gave a presentation titled “Pathways to Decarbonisation: Using Shipping and Transitional Fuel Derivatives”, which featured a panel discussion involving Jin on the challenges of decarbonisation, including new fuels.

We extend our gratitude to the organisers for hosting such an insightful event, which highlights the strength of new fuels for the maritime industry and the many paths forward for cleaner energy options in shipping. We look forward to collaborating with all industry partners to further leverage digital transformation, creating a more efficient, transparent, and sustainable shipping exchange.
