The finest sense of the word carries with it an accumulated wisdom, style,

skill, accomplishment, success and traditions at their best are cherished,

nurtured and even held sacred. But, as any next generation knows,

challenging accepted wisdom and practices is a hallmark of true growth

and development. Questioning fosters exploration, encourages curiosity

and empowers those who might create better ways, science and solutions.

So this year we celebrate the best of our industry’s traditions, whether it

be putting our ships to the test to meet the world’s needs or rescuing

refugees in the Med. We also tip our hat to those who are constantly

bringing forth new and better ways of doing things – and we are very for-

tunate to have so many of you with us this year. The $40 million dollar

project of a prior generation may today be a billion, but the skills, vision,

imagination and commercial talents needed are there, successfully evolved

from the best that went before. Please come celebrate, come debate,

come do business, come join us in March. Thank you all.

In this age of big data it is not about optimizing the connectivity to the vesselso much as a focus on implementing applications that utilize the connectivityto optimize business operations. This is the challenge which will build completely different organizations, will allow closer integration between charterers and operators, allow ship managers to demonstrate their value toship owners and drive savings and productivity.

This session will address the matter of “adverse inference” that may develop regarding evidence and doc-uments in a dispute. Following on from introductory remarks by Dr. Bulow, the panel will discuss the prob-lems of collecting documents and evidence in preparing for an arbitration. Issues that develop during acharter as a dispute arises will be discussed. These include insurance, P&I, brokers communications, claimsand operations records.

Moderator• Dr. Austin Dooley


Bunkering in Challenging Times The international bunker market is nothing if not resilient and is able to cope with most things thrown at it.Waves of new regulation – most notably the new low sulphur restrictions in the North American EmissionControl Area (ECA) which came into force on 1 January – are having an impact and causing some concern,but the new rules were long anticipated and many will have been well prepared. In contrast, the collapse ofoil prices was not predicted. While a 50% drop in bunker prices may well have thrown a lifeline to some, forothers it has proved disastrous. Throw into the mix the overnight disappearance of one of the world’s largestand most respected trading companies, and the chaos is complete. This bunker session will examine whathas changed and what the future holds.

The panel discussion will review issues arising in arbitrations involving Contracts of Affreightment and inthe various types of Memorandums of Agreement that have recently appeared in NY arbitrations.

SESSION ONE: THE TECHNICAL ISSuES

Bunker QualityThis presentation will consider what are the fundamental elements that should be drawn into the new IMOGuidelines on assuring the quality of fuel delivered for use on board ships. It will then consider how theIMO reached the decision to move ahead with the quality issue, in particular the emergence of new portauthorities willing to consider regulating bunker suppliers, and then discuss the relative merits of the systemscurrently being heralded as the benchmarks for industry leaders in terms of quality assurance, e.g. Singa-pore, Antwerp and Gibraltar.

• Tim Wilkins, Regional Manager Asia-Pacific, INTERTANKO Asia

2015 ECA – A New Direction for Marine Fuels?This presentation will consider the immediate impact the change in ECA legislation has had upon fueltypes purchased and the additional analytical that testing and parameters to be considered for monitoringdistillate fuel quality, along with an assessment of new hybrid fuel products.

• Steve Bee, Global Business Director, Intertek Ltd

Marine DistillatesThis presentation will look at marine distillates, examining recent experiences with the cold flow propertiesof distillate fuel and providing some examples of the problems that have been encountered by those using0.1% Marine Gasoil and 0.1% compliant fuel oil.

• Denis Eley, Marine Fuels Quality Manager, World Fuel Services Corp.

2020: Ready or Not?A look ahead to the next milestone facing the marine industry – the 2020 date for a global 0.5% sulphur

cap on bunker fuels. Can the industry meet the new regulation? This presentation looks first at current

world consumption of petroleum products and then looks at refiner options based on the IPECA analyses,

before examining world average crude quality of residues based on assay data from the US SPR 800 million

barrel crude reserve. Finally it examines the options open to shipowners: liquefied natural gas, ultra low

sulphur diesel or scrubbers + Intermediate fuel oils.

SESSION TWO: THE COMMERCIAL ISSuES

An industry in Crisis – 2008 to 2014 – What Happens Now?The international bunker industry needs to reboot itself. This presentation will look at the impact on the

global industry of the demise of OW Bunker from a commercial point of view. What does it mean for struc-

tural balance of the middlemen – the traders – as they interact with the suppliers and the buyers? Who

are the winners? Who are the losers?

• Adrian Tolson, Managing Director, Aegean Oil USA LLC

Identifying RiskOW’s demise was a catastrophe, not only for its 600+ staff but also for many oil companies, bunker sup-

pliers, traders, shipowners, operators and charterers. Several have followed OW into bankruptcy and, in

turn, this has hurt their own suppliers and buyers. Clearly, the bunker market now has been shown to be

a dangerous place: what has been the impact in terms of counterparty risk, credit risk and business trust?

Has the world changed forever or is this just an unfortunate blip?
