Do you have thoughts about what's next for the tanker industry - and how the industry can be better prepared for the future? Please contact conference producer Panas Kalliantas to discuss further on pdkalliantas@d-e-j.com

In Singapore on Thursday October 8, Tanker Operator magazine is running our 6th conference, looking at ways to reduce complexity and make your business easier to run.

We are organising this conference to see if we can find and share ways to make tanker companies easier to manage.

For example, 

  • Could shipyards take responsibility for efficiency and vessel lifecycle performance?
  • Can we handle crewing costs and crew motivation at the same time?
  • Can we give customers (oil companies) more confidence in our management by giving them more ongoing information rather than periodic vetting? Can we use vetting as part of business management? 
  • Can we make better use of software and monitoring for managing environmental performance and fuel consumption?
  • Can we link regular vessel repair / maintenance with efforts to improve fuel efficiency,  eg with application of hull, propeller and rudder coatings, rudder and propeller retrofits?
  • Can we ask engine manufacturers to get more involved in engine operations, like in the aircraft industry?

Can we make the core of our business - systems, crew motivation and customer relationships - more robust, leading to better business performance in all areas and the business being better prepared for unpredictable market changes?  

Many of the basics of tanker shipping - customers, crew, vessel operations, safety, environmental performance - have not changed in 100 years. But what has changed is how demanding all of these factors are.
