The tanker industry is going through its biggest ever period of change. TANKER OPERATOR Alongside killer financial conditions we have environmental requirements, changes in supply and demand for crew, rising fuel costs, new routes and new petroleum trading patterns, security challenges and third party scrutiny. This also means that if you sell services and products into the tanker industry it is a good time to find new customers - and your customers will be reading Tanker Operator magazine to find out what's on offer. In particular, if you provide services and tools to improve vessel efficiency, environmental performance and safety, your potential customers will be reading Tanker Operator magazine. This includes engine optimisation services, propeller optimisation, bunker fuel testing, measuring and monitoring tools, maintenance management tools, coatings, ballast water management, tank cleaning, waste management, communications services, specialist shipbuilding, fire safety systems, navigation optimisation, training, security services, risk management, vetting management tools, consultancy, regulatory management. Tanker Operator magazine is sent out both on print (2,000 copies) and pdf (11,000 recipients) - and unlike most maritime trade magazines, Tanker Operator is only sent out on print or pdf to people who have actually requested it. CO 2 saver Around 85 per cent of the recipients of our print magazine are for customers or people who might influence purchases - including tanker company executives, charterers, seafarers and regulators. Thank you very much for a very interesting and useful magazine. TANKEROperator is a high quality professional publication. - professor, institute of economic forecasting, Moscow
