Tankers 2030 Conference

Navigating key operational challenges in the tanker sector over the next five years. 

This two-day programme will explore the opportunities, challenges, and solutions facing the global tanker industry as it moves towards 2030. And feature our very own Capt. Akshat Arora, AFNI, regional Loss Prevention Director at Singapore P&I Club. 

Key topics will include regulation, operational, technical, and market perspectives. The event is designed for technical, fleet, and operations tanker managers, regulators, class societies, and suppliers of innovative equipment and technology solutions. Attendees will hear from leading industry experts, participate in topical panel debates, and benefit from valuable networking opportunities.

Key topics to be addressed over the two day conference will include:

• Market outlook and trends: An in-depth analysis of trade flows and macroeconomic events over the past year, including an assessment of supply and demand factors and the impact of trade tensions and geopolitical developments.
• Safety, standards and vetting: The tanker sector continues to face significant challenges, from the risks posed by unregistered vessels to ongoing safety concerns, such as those related to enclosed spaces. Industry leaders will discuss these issues and share strategies to overcome them.
• Regulation: Next steps and practical solutions. Following the expected ratification of IMO MEPC83 in October, what can the tanker industry anticipate? How can operators effectively manage challenges related to emissions trading schemes and maritime fuel regulations while maintaining compliance and competitiveness?

• Crew: attraction, retention, reforming and retraining The sector faces workforce challenges ranging from recruiting and retaining skilled crew to increasing female participation and ensuring comprehensive training for new technologies and alternative fuels.
• Digitalisation and AI: the future of tanker operations As data, AI, and digital technologies become increasingly integral, we examine the experiences and lessons learned from operators utilising these tools to maximise operational efficiency and optimisation.
