ACI's Tanker Management Conference will critically examine the tanker market and how shipping community is dealing with changes in supply and demand. In response, ship owners and managers need to scrutinise their cost structures, income streams and strategic decisions. The volatility in the tanker charter rates has also affected the profitability of these organisations. Therefore, shipping companies now need to know what the financing options are available to expand their businesses and fleet, the most efficient and cost - effective ways to run their operations and the availability of vessels. In this event, the tanker shipping community converge to discuss the current issues impacting their profitability and efficiency as well as the best possible step forward.
