World Bunkering > Events > The 31st International Bunker Conference

Mission (im)possible?

This year’s much-anticipated event is focused on fuelling marine transportation into the future and on legislation and regulations challenging the bunker industry. How is legislation impacting marine transportation? What are the changes, and what are the drivers? And last, but not least, what is the most cost effective way going forward? More than 200 people from 125 companies in 23 countries participated at IBC 2009 in Oslo. With a strong attendance anticipated also in 2010, the conference provides an ideal networking opportunity for businesses and organisations working within the bunker sector and beyond.

Target Group
The conference targets oil companies, ship owners and operators, charterers, brokers, traders, agents, classification and survey companies, testing companies, terminal and barge operators, insurance and law firms, media, maritime institutions as well as national and regional authorities.
