I was very impressed by the high caliber and quality of the speakers. It’s one of the very few times where you see so many people that have a real interest in this market, many of whom are senior executives of tanker shipping companies. I was pleasantly surprised with the optimism in this part of the world, where there is also a lot of dynamism.”

The conference was really well attended with some very high-level delegates and a range of participants from across the industry. This is my first time at the TMS Tanker Conference, but I have been very impressed. There were some good discussions on the issue of IMO 2020 and the decisions that a lot of players have got to make around that. We have also seen how tanker market dynamics are likely to evolve from some very experienced industry players.”
