Three technical one-day Conferences held at Norshipping on June 14 2007

Digital Ship, Tanker Operator and LNG Journal are holding a series of three conferences on one day at Norshipping, a major maritime trade show in Oslo, June 14 2007.

The events have previously attracted between 30 and 70 participants each, from companies including Rolls Royce, Siemens, BP, Shell, Carnival Corporation, Port of Marseille, US Department of Defence, Stena Line, Kristian Gerhard Jebsen, Stolt Nielsen.

Evolution in tanker management systems

The conference will look at the big picture in how tanker operations are evolving - with increasing demands from oil majors, difficulty finding crews, crews spending less time at sea, market reward or lack of reward for increased professionalism, possible penalising of smaller companies). It will look at specific methods being developed to help improve, including TMSA, competency assessment, gathering and using KPIs, condition monitoring, accident investigation, company co-ordination. The conference builds on our series of TMSA events originally held at Norshipping 2005 and since in Athens, Rotterdam, Cyprus, Hong Kong, Singapore and Dubai.
