The Maritime Standard Tanker Conference will take place on 25th October at the Grosvenor House Hotel in Dubai. Key players from across the regional tanker market, as well as global participants, have already confirmed their attendances.
Speakers and panelists confirmed include Sheikh Talal Al Khalid Al Sabah of Kuwait Oil Tanker Company; H.E. Khamis Buamim, group chief executive and managing director of Gulf Navigation; Naser Al-Abdulkareem, of Bahri; Philip Tinsley of BIMCO; Captain Harihar Prasad of McQuilling; Jasamin Fichte of Fichte & Co; Rania Tadros of Ince & Co. and Varun Shipping’s Yudhisthir Khatau.
The event has won the sponsorship support of many leading shipping organisations, including KOTC, DNV GL, ClassNK, Dubai Maritime City, Islamic P&I Club and Mercmarine. The conference will focus on the challenges facing the tanker industry in the region today, but also the opportunities that exist as global and regional economic recovery takes hold. Individual sessions will highlight current trends in terms of tanker operations and demand, investment in new ships and shoreside facilities and the development of technical and other support services.
Trevor Pereira, managing director of The Maritime Standard, says, “This event is being held the day after The Maritime Standard Awards and so we are confident it will attract a significant, high quality audience of decision makers and influential executives, who will be able to hear the views of some of the leading voices in this field. It is certain to generate a high level of exposure for those taking part and we urge people to book now, as spaces in this instance are strictly limited.”
