Workshop Overview:
With global oil prices rising steadily, marine fuel oil or bunker fuel has deteriorated in quality over recent years. As a result, the number of disputes relating to supply quality has increased. It is essential for ship operators to be aware of the problems associated with the supply of bunker fuels, and to take steps to ensure that their ships are provided with fuel oil suitable for use by their ships’ power plant.
Industry practice and new legislation has seen improvements in the standards of sample taking, but with blending problems during the crude oil refining process, fuel oil standards have struggled to keep pace. As the cost of fuel is approximately 50 % of the cost of bunkering (complications include the heat expansion of fuel oils), bunkering needs to be done by competent staff efficiently and correctly executed to keep costs down and to save on unnecessary overpayments of bunkers.
This 3-day highly interactive and practical course is intended to provide a thorough understanding of the regulations of codes and standards. This course sets out guidelines and procedures to ensure that the correct quality and quantity of bunkers are being delivered safely and demonstrate how this efficiency may be achieved. It covers both practical and legal problems, including minimising the impact of any problems that do arise and new environmental legislation.
Workshop Facilitator Profile

She is adept at developing and presenting specialist courses for offshore floating installations which focus on organisational aims. She is looking forward to co-ordinating this workshop on bunkering operations and hopes that delegates will take full advantage of the pre-course questionnaire, so that the workshop can review real rather than hypothetical issues for the participants.
