Geneva forum: Oil and shipping markets in sharp focus

On the 18th June 2013 the Club held its

International Leaders Forum: Oil and shipping in sharp focus,

in Geneva.

The forum was lead by two distinguished speakers, Dr Leonidas Drollas, Director and Chief Economist at the Centre for Global Energy Studies and Steve Christy, Director and Head of Research at Gibson Shipbrokers.

The evening seminar was well attended by Club Members and from the Swiss maritime and trading community. Dr Drollas spoke on the dynamics of the pricing of oil and the supply of petroleum products with particular emphasis on the role played by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Steve Christy spoke on the freight side of the equation highlighting the supply and demand for tanker vessels with particular emphasis on the product carrier segment.

The region comprising Latin America and the Caribbean is a busy one for the UK P&I Club. Some prominent Members have a large number of tons entered with the Club and have this region as their principal place of business. Moreover, many of the Club’s entered ships frequently call at Latin American and Caribbean ports regardless of where the Member is based, which can undoubtedly be anywhere in the world.
