VPS recently attended HullPIC 2023, organized by Volker Bertram (DNV), and held in Tuscany (Italy) just outside Siena. It was (again) a very well organized conference, with topic covering (advantages of) Autologging, methods for using AI in shipping, EEXI and compliance and other relevant topics. It lasted 3 days and was again very well attended from industry, both including suppliers, shipping companies as well as academia. A big thanks to the organizers for bringing the industry together to discuss relevant topics and creating a great networking opportunity.
