... A must read for everyone in our industry"

"Tanker Operator is a very serious and ambitious magazine which I read with utmost attention. Tanker operation is a neglected part of tanker shipping where finances coups and the big hits and takeovers seem to attract most of the attention. But the success of tanker shipping depends entirely on safe and productive daily and long term tanker operation. We need to focus on daily operation in the tanker industry, as well as on safety and quality. Tanker Operator is an important tool for us in sharing experiences"
-Lars Carlsson, chairman of INTERTANKO and president of Concordia Maritime
