Registration is at 09:00. The workshop runs from 09:30 – 16:30 with appropriate breaks for prayer and refreshments. Lunch will be served at 12:30 – 13:30.
The workshop will resume from 13:30 to 16:30 with appropriate afternoon coffee and refreshment breaks in between.
In light of the regulatory changes within the bunkering industry
business are still struggling to understand how the regulations

necessary changes ahead of the upcoming deadlines. After a two
day comprehensive conference we have designed a specialised
workshop for those in the bunkering industry who would like to gain
a stronger understanding of what they must do in order to stay
ahead of the latest maritime laws and charter party disputes.
This all day post-conference workshop will focus on specific areas
of maritime law that affects the entire industry, from international
bunker sales, risk management, accountability and role specification
within the bunkering value chain, ship sale and purchase and ship
finance.
Topics that will be covered:
� Addressing various charter disputes and the importance of
assessing contracts during initial stages of drafting, in order to
ensure that both parties, from ship-owner to charterer, have
clear specifications when entering the contract
� Clarifying where certain responsibilities lie within the bunkering
industry and detecting who is accountable for potential losses
due faulty bunkers
� Addressing who is accountable for the quality of the bunker and
ensuring that procedures are in place for delivering high quality
fuel
� Best practices in identifying and prioritizing the main risks
within international bunkering trade and maritime commerce
� Addressing local practice laws, policies and procedures in various
jurisdictions in order to ensure that your business is up-to-date

strategies
Registration will be at 08:00. The workshop will run from 08:30 to 12:30 with
appropriate breaks for prayer and refreshments. Lunch will be served at 12:30.
As the industry gears up for use of new fuels in the market such
as LNG, quality of fuel and fuel testing strategies remain as a key
issue facing the bunker industry. This master class will focus on
how the industry needs to come together and reassess the current
procedures for fuel testing. In order to mitigate the current risk
posed by bad quality fuels and to ensure that the bunkering industry
is complying with the IOCs fuel standards which are becoming more
rigorous and standardized.
Topics that will be covered:
� Insight into the latest use of cutting- edge technology, high-
end analytical tools and analytical expertise to determine
various bunker fuel characteristics

As freight rates and ship prices have increased significantly in recent

are encouraged to take stringent measures in minimising costs in all
operations and mitigating risks. This workshop is broken into two parts;
