AGENDA
9.15 Dimitris Lyras, Director of Ulysses Systems
Chairman's introduction
9.30 Martin Shaw, Managing Director, Marine Operations and Assurance Management Solutions Ltd The voyage ahead-21st century tanker management
Tanker operations have changed substantially in the last 40 years. It’s possible to identify at least four different phases over that period influenced by economics and changing views on safety, operations and the environment. The market continues to be weak at present and it is not clear when a robust freight market will return. What is clear though is that the next ten years will not be the same as the last ten. There is no reason to expect that what lead to operational success in the past will remain the same. The operator who gets ahead of the pack in identifying the new direction will not only survive but succeed when the market recovers. What will be the key to 21st century tanker operation?
