The upcoming second annual Maritime Tanker Conference in Dubai, UAE is expected to attract over 150 top executives from across the regional tanker business, as well as global participants.

The event will take place on October 24 at the Grosvenor House Hotel.

A high level group of expert speakers and panellists is being assembled by The Maritime Standard, and will include representatives from leading tanker owners and managers, port operators, trade organisations, brokers and analysts, law firms, financiers and technology providers.

The event has also secured sponsorship support from a number of high profile maritime companies and organisations.

The one day Conference will focus on the challenges and opportunities that remain open to the tanker sector in the Middle East and the Indian Subcontinent today. Speakers and panellists will assess global and regional economic and trade trends that will affect the movement of crude oil, products and petrochemicals. After key note speakers, individual sessions will highlight key issues, and solutions, and will assess likely investment patterns in ships and terminal facilities, as well as the development of technology and other support services.

Trevor Pereira, managing director of The Maritime Standard said: “The inaugural event in 2016 was such a success that we have decided to return to the same venue and date, the day after The Maritime Standard Awards, to build on what proved to be a successful formula.

“We will have some big names from the industry speaking and the high quality audience of decision makers and influencers will make this a Conference that will add real value, in terms of information gathering and networking. The Maritime Standard Tanker Conference is certain to generate a high level of interest so I would urge people to book now, as spaces will be strictly limited." – TradeArabia News Service
