London, 26 – 27 November 2019

Strategising for profitable and compliant tanker operations
The Tanker Shipping & Trade, Conference, Awards & Exhibitions brings professionals from across the global Tanker Shipping and Trade industry to London for meaningful discussion and practical insights into the business, operational and technical issues that will impact the crude, product and chemical tanker trades in the year ahead.

This year’s theme: Strategising for profitable and compliant tanker operations

Profitable operations…
As the tanker industry enters the final quarter of the year board level executives throughout the tanker owning and operating community will converge in London to get a steer on where the market opportunities lie in the year ahead as well as benchmark their company policies and pay scales.

Compliant operations…
Compliance operations are a tanker owners ticket to trade. The most significant concern facing tanker operators is IMO 2020 compliance. There are question marks over enforcement and risks of fuel contamination and associated engine problems. There are a mix of other environmental regulations on the horizons that present particular challenges for the industry. And of course the ever-present requirements of charterers. Join us in November in London to address these issues and gather useful intelligence that you can feed into your operating schedules, business plan and strategy for the year ahead.
