Key focal points:

• Understand just what the 2020 global cap decision means for the whole industry – In a world where margins are low, ship owners still struggle to make a profit, and the threat of industry consolidations looms; is the switch going to be that simple?
• Global perspectives – For 2017 we cover more than what is happening in Europe, from the impact of Mass Flow Metering in Singapore, to the potential for the Middle East market post 2020
• What’s happening to the oil price now? – In the last year, the oil price has risen from $30 USD/bbl to $50+ USD/bbl, but will this climb continue? Hear the experts discuss their forecasts
• Can the shipping industry keep the status quo for another year? – How robust is the shipping industry? Assess the current potential for the shipping market, and the outlook for freight and tanker markets.
• Explore the outlook for scrubbers and alternative fuels – Now the date has been set, ship owners can look ahead to see what is the most viable option. Will the uptake in scrubbers keep HSFO on the table? What future will alternative fuels have in the fuels mix, when will we see mass adoption?
