Anatomy of Petroleum Products and Chemicals Shipping

A four-day course in Dubai providing a concise overview of the commercial aspects of petroleum products and chemicals shipping.

The aim of this management course is to guide participants towards the successful development of commercial tactics and strategies in the petroleum products and chemical carrier markets. This is achieved through an examination of the economic, commercial, operational, technical, contractual, financial and legislative considerations which together impact variously on the extent to which owners and charterers maintain a competitive edge in their transportation arrangements. The course will also consider the outlook for these two related markets and as such will also be of interest to other industry players such as financial institutions and ship yards. The course is presented by the Cambridge Academy of Transport in association with Richardson Lawrie Associates
