The Industry’s First Insights into the Impacts of IMO 2020

The shipping market was bracing for 1 January 2020, the date when vessels must have started to comply with the IMO 2020 low-sulfur regulations, for some time.

Our panel examined the initial impacts of the IMO 2020 regulations on the industry and its participants. They also considered:

• With this once-in-a-generation change now upon us, have shipowners that have installed scrubbers made the right decision?
• Will these new regulations provide support to freight rates in all markets for the long term?

Our panel was comprised of:

• Mikkel Seidelin, Director Chartering & Freight Trading, Teekay Shipping
• Tamara Sleiman, Managing Editor of Residual Fuels, S&P Global Platts
• Richard Matthews, Head of Research, EA Gibson Shipbrokers

and moderated by Arthur Richier, Senior Pricing Specialist – Tanker Markets, S&P Global Platts

Afterwards, networking drinks were hosted by our partner-level sponsors BDO LLP.
