DUBAI, United Arab Emirates-Thursday 4 April 2019 [ AETOS Wire ]
The
Maritime Standard, the Dubai-based publisher and events organisers, has
announced that the fourth annual The Maritime Standard Tanker
Conference will be held on Tuesday 22nd October at The Atlantis, the
Palm, in Dubai. This follows a successful move to this high-quality
venue last year, which facilitated a significant increase in attendance.
Aimed
at influential decision makers and opinion formers in the tanker
shipping and related business sectors, the one-day Conference will
highlight regional and global trends in the crude, products and
chemicals trades. This year there will also be coverage of several new
areas, including the bunker trades and petrochemical markets. The
majority of the leading owners and operators in the regional tanker
trades will be present and a top-quality panel of speakers is being
lined up.
Clive
Woodbridge, conference editor, says, “Attending the event will give all
participants an insight into the challenges and opportunities that
exist within the Middle East and the Indian Subcontinent tanker trades.
The aim of the Conference is to ensure that participants get to focus on
the opportunities for business growth and discuss how to overcome
challenges and obstacles to successful tanker trade development.”
Registration
for the conference is now open. Sponsorship opportunities in connection
with the event are also available. For more information, please call

Editor’s Note:
The
Maritime Standard (TMS), which is based in Dubai, publishes a regular
e-newsletter aimed specifically at the shipping and maritime community.
It is delivered fortnightly, on the 1st and 15th of every month, and
provides accurate, up-to-date news about the market. Over the past few
years the publication has built up the largest readership of any
shipping-related online newsletter in the Middle East and the Indian
Subcontinent. It is also gaining popularity in other major shipping
hubs, including Oslo, Hamburg, Singapore, London and Greece.
The
newsletter includes news and analysis from the shipping and ports
industries and related sectors in the Middle East and the Indian
Subcontinent. Topics that are covered include tanker shipping, container
operations, dry and liquid bulk trades, ro-ro, and cruise shipping. In
addition, there is up to date information about regional terminal
operations; port development; classification; ship repair and
conversion; shipbuilding; ship agency; finance and insurance; maritime
law; and transportation & logistics. The newsletter, which
celebrated the publication of its 100th edition in 2018, regularly
carries exclusives, analysis and interviews with top executives, and
there are plans to include a special section on recent and forthcoming
events, the industry’s ‘movers and shakers’ and other personality-led
news.
TMS
publishes the very successful TMS UAE Yearbook. The third volume
covering 2018/19 was launched in July last year and the 2019/20 edition
is all set to be unveiled in June 2019 at NorShippinhg in Oslo. Around
5000 copies are printed and distributed worldwide and have a high
profile at partner maritime events, such as Posidonia, SMM, Norshipping,
Dubai International Boat Show, Offshore Arabia and many more. The UAE’s
Federal Transport Authority also takes the Yearbook with them to the
events that they take part in and host over the year, as well as having
copies on display at its headquarter in Abu Dhabi.
Covering
key developments across the country’s maritime sector, the annual
publication aims to publicise the UAE’s achievements both locally and
internationally, through in-depth articles, researched first hand. These
cover all the major sectors of the shipping, ports and maritime
industry in the UAE. The articles, on terminals, shipping companies,
shipyards, maritime law firms, classification, regulators and inland
transport firms, among others, have been well received by the industry
as a year-round reference point. The Maritime Standard UAE Yearbook is a
must-read publication for everyone interested in UAE maritime issues.
The
not-to-be missed The Maritime Standard Awards recognise and celebrate
success in the shipping, ports and related sectors across the Middle
East and the Indian Subcontinent. The sixth edition of TMS Awards will
take place on Monday, 21st October 2019 at Atlantis, the Palm, Dubai.
These
are the only Awards of their kind that represent all sectors within the
maritime and shipping industries, a factor that has been evident since
their inception. They are in particular the only Awards where all the
major shipowners and operators from across the region are represented,
something that TMS is extremely proud of.
The
Awards are now firmly positioned as one of the world's leading shipping
and maritime Awards gala dinners and are the premier event of their
kind in the region. All of the five events to date have been held under
the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, and
have each attracted close to 700 of the region's elite shipping and
maritime professionals, as well as a number of leading figures from
overseas. These guests have come from a variety of industry segments,
ranging from ports and terminal operators to ship owners and managers.
Top executives from the worlds of maritime law and finance,
classification, ship building and repair and maritime education and
training are also in attendance, creating unrivalled networking
opportunities.
All
of the events have had distinguished master of ceremonies. Past MCs
have included Alastair Campbell, Ruud Gullit, Jim Clancy, Lara Dutta and
Tim Wilcox. The 2019 event will be hosted by a personality of
equivalent caliber.
The
2018 TMS Awards saw 20 general awards presented, in line with the
recommendations of an elite, independent judging panel, as well as a
number for special individual awards recognising the contributions made
by high profile industry leaders and innovators. The Awards have set a
benchmark within the industry and have become an eagerly anticipated
meeting place for top executives from across the market, as well as an
opportunity to reward and recognise achievement at the highest level.
The fourth Maritime Standard Tanker Conference will be held on the 22nd
October 2019 at the Taj Hotel, Dubai. Attendees will include key
