The tanker industry is going through its biggest ever period of change.

Alongside killer financial conditions we have environmental requirements, changes in supply anddemand for crew, rising fuel costs, new routes and new petroleum trading patterns, securitychallenges and third party scrutiny.

This also means that if you sell services and products into the tanker industry it is a good time tofind new customers - and your customers will be reading Tanker Operator magazine to find outwhat's on offer.

In particular, if you provide services and tools to improve vessel efficiency, environmentalperformance and safety, your potential customers will be reading Tanker Operator magazine.

This includes engine optimisation services, propeller optimisation, bunker fuel testing, measuringand monitoring tools, maintenance management tools, coatings, ballast water management, tankcleaning, 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) - andunlike most maritime trade magazines, Tanker Operator is only sent out on print or pdf to peoplewho have actually requested it.

Around 85 per cent of the recipients of our print magazine are for customers or people who mightinfluence purchases - including tanker company executives, charterers, seafarers and regulators.
