Tanker Ops and Demurrage Training That Makes Your Job Easier & Saves Your Company Money


We provide the maritime industry with a foundation in tanker operations and train them to respond in real time to mitigate demurrage exposure through the ability to provide on point responses to scheduling issues, confidently handle post deal claims, fine tune contracts and clauses, and increase collections in a timely manner.  All participants receive comprehensive course books replete with examples of clauses and precedent in the form of New York and London arbitration awards and UK court cases.
