Michele Francioni

Senior Vice President MSC Cruises

Conference Day Two - 7th May 2026

9:10 AM OPERATOR PANEL: Where are we With Fuel Investment Pathways

As 2026 unfolds, the regulatory and supply landscape for maritime fuels is becoming more complex, and potentially more uncertain. We have heard from the regulator side, but what does this all mean for the largest global shipping operators? How do they react? This panel brings together these executives to provide insight into how these decisions are being made today, and over the next few years.

Join the session to learn:

- How do we stay up to date with regulatory changes, and be involved in the shaping of them – specifically how have they reacted to IMO fuel standards decision, and the EU reaction?

- How leading operators assess fuel diversification within their fleets, and make long-term investment decisions

- Frameworks for decarbonisation amidst competing operational demands, and how to overcome operational challenges with less mature fuels

- How can operators work together to strengthen fuel pathways we have already invested in
