The conference will look at:-

• The challenges of tanker operation and how to improve your management
• How do management systems help and how do they hinder?
• Avoiding lost revenue through quality problems
• Reducing fuel costs ( which helps with environmental goals)
• Cost management including getting the best from drydocks
• Getting the best from your crew while avoiding cost escalation

The conference challenge is to take 3% off your gross costs.

Global economic slowdown and overcapacity have driven freight rates to low levels.  It is not clear how long these conditions will last but estimates range from three to ten years.  What is clear is that some companies have failed, some will fail, some will survive and some will succeed and come out of the slump stronger. 

The decisions that have been made and will be made over the next year will determine your company’s position.  

The conference will concentrate on the areas of revenue and costs and how to manage them in this difficult environment.  The link between quality and revenue is clear in the tanker industry.

The tanker industry has, through much hard work, created a well deserved reputation for quality, a reputation that could be put at risk if ill advised cost cutting results in incidents and oil pollution. 

After a long period of boom costs will have risen and these costs needs to be managed but managed carefully to avoid creating incidents, harming customer relationships and incurring unexpected costs from ill thought through ‘slash and burn’ cost cutting.
