Can operational resilience be better understood, maintained and developed?

Our 9th Tanker Operator Hamburg forum will discuss operational resilience in tanker operations. Resilience itself is invisible. But we can easily see what results in not having resilience, when accidents occur. Resilience is what enables us to achieve safe, low carbon, efficient tanker operations.

Current challenges on tanker shipping reduce our operational resilience - crew being required to operate new, complex equipment such as BWTS, scrubbers and automated propulsion control systems; shortages of seafarers meaning that we have less experienced crew onboard; growing regulatory demands; and the focus on optimisation over the past decade eliminating spare capacity in crew and equipment.

In this event we will discuss how we can better understand our resilience and what methods, and perhaps technologies, can help us to maintain and develop it.

This topic was also discussed in our Athens conference in May - you can read the report in pages 14-22 of our Sept-August issue here. 

Speakers:

• Dimitris Lyras, director, Lyras Shipping
• Martin Shaw, director, MOAMS Ltd
• Phrixos Papachristidis, managing director and CEO, Hellespont
• Matthias Imrecke, Imrecke Consulting
• Ömer Faruk Bayar, technical director /  fleet captain, Harren Tanker Management

Are we ready for the challenges of the next 10 years?
