Join the HQ meeting to have a say on how FIATA could help streamline the exchange of data with key stakeholders through the digital FBL!
A workshop will be dedicated to the (digital) FBL, and its current and potential usage with different modes of transport. The scope of the session is to explore the different opportunities FIATA could have through the digital FBL solution to facilitate the exchange of data between freight-forwarders and carriers from different modes of transport, as well as key stakeholders such as custom authorities. The key objective being to move from (digital) documents to data and to avoid double data entries.
Participants will be split into four groups, with each focusing on a mode of transport, and which will be moderated by guest speakers from key organisations and companies:
- Sea: Lutercia Porto, Digital Projects Director, MSC
- Air: Stephane Noll, Head of Digital Engagement and Transformation, CHAMP
- Road: Kostantinos Alexopoulos, Chief Transport Facilitation and Economics, UNECE
- Rail: Philip Van der Bosch, Deputy Freight Director, UIC
Get ahead at the FIATA HQ Meeting: Sustainability basics - Know your fuels!
FIATA has been following the issue of new fuel options for the transition to sustainable transport closely. OECD-ITF's recent report assesses the potential of e-fuels to address this gap. Suggested alternatives to fossil fuels are biofuels and e-fuels. E-fuels are synthetic fuels produced from electricity, preferably from a renewable source. ITF's study aims to understand the carbon intensity and greenhouse gas emissions throughout the life-cycle of such fuels from their production, transport and storage to usage.
The upcoming transition is considerable because, as of 2021, almost 100% of the fuel used in aviation and shipping were fossil fuels. Policymakers have been urging regulators to act quickly to incentivise change by eliminating the price difference between conventional and alternative fuels. This will have a trickle-down effect on supply chain intermediaries and shippers.
Find out more, and be a part of this discussion at the FIATA Headquarters Meeting on Saturday, 18 March at 16:00-17:30 CET in Geneva.
