Bulk Liquid Chemical Transportation: Economics, Tactics and Operations
-
As with the energy sectors, the bulk liquid chemical carrier market is currently being driven by current disruptions to the global economy together with underlying longer trends impacted by moves towards de-carbonisation and increasing regulation. The pattern of trade is changing as producers move downstream and chemical companies in some major consuming regions find it increasingly difficult to compete with those having access to cheap local feedstocks. China remains pivotal to global trade but growth has been limited since 2019.
The course is designed to provide clear insights into recent developments and potential future trends while at the same time giving participants the tools with which to evaluate market opportunities and risks.
Through a combination of presentations and case studies the course covers the chemical carrier market and its’ drivers; the impact of the clean petroleum products tanker sector; the petrochemicals value chain; trends in chemical plant construction; chemical carrier economics, choice of charter and chartering tactics, chemical carrier charter parties, laytime and demurrage, vetting and chemical carrier operations. Coverage of the market also includes other commodities which create demand for chemical carriers such as caustic soda solution, inorganic acids and natural products.

Market context is useful to digest because in practice it can become easy to fall narrow minded. Legal sessions provided very valuable clarity on quite practical issues.
