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

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

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 examined the initial impacts of the IMO 2020 regulations on the industry and its participants.

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.
