ABB invited Esmond Yong, Sales Director, APAC, Routing Services, ABB Marine & Ports, based in Singapore; Sallum Andaya, Senior Route Analyst, Routing Services, ABB Marine & Ports, based in Manila, Philippines; and Capt. Kevin Knott, Fleet Performance Manager at BW LPG, a world leader in liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) shipping, based in Singapore, to share insights into the weather routing landscape in APAC. We discussed the regulations, trends and challenges, and what makes ABB Routing Services unique – as well as other steps BW LPG, a global player with a fleet of around 40 vessels, has taken to improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions.
