Dubai, UAE: The Maritime Standard, the Dubai-based publisher and events organisers, has announced that the fourth annual The Maritime Standard Tanker Conference will be held on Tuesday 22nd October at The Atlantis, the Palm, in Dubai. This follows a successful move to this high-quality venue last year, which facilitated a significant increase in attendance.
Aimed at influential decision makers and opinion formers in the tanker shipping and related business sectors, the one-day Conference will highlight regional and global trends in the crude, products and chemicals trades. This year there will also be coverage of several new areas, including the bunker trades and petrochemical markets. The majority of the leading owners and operators in the regional tanker trades will be present and a top-quality panel of speakers is being lined up.
Clive Woodbridge, conference editor, says, “Attending the event will give all participants an insight into the challenges and opportunities that exist within the Middle East and the Indian Subcontinent tanker trades. The aim of the Conference is to ensure that participants get to focus on the opportunities for business growth and discuss how to overcome challenges and obstacles to successful tanker trade development.”
Registration for the conference is now open. Sponsorship opportunities in connection with the event are also available. For more information, please call +971 4 380 5556 or visit the website: www.tmstankerconference.com
