OPERATIONAL AND CONTRACTUAL SUPPLY OF PETROLEUM PRODUCTS

The global petroleum supply chain is a complex and dynamic environment. This advanced training course, "Operational and Contractual Supply of Petroleum Products," is designed to equip professionals with the critical commercial, legal, and operational skills needed to navigate the end-to-end supply process of petroleum cargoes. The program is ideal for chartering officers, marine operations coordinators, terminal planners, contract administrators, logistics specialists, and petroleum traders who need to align commercial contracts with the realities of marine logistics. Over five intensive days, participants will examine every link in the petroleum supply chain, from cargo classification and vessel selection to port operations and contractual enforcement. The course places a strong emphasis on the relationship between operational delivery and contractual performance.

• Recognize how freight economics (e.g., Worldscale, FFAs) influence chartering decisions.
• Manage the complex interface between all parties involved, including shipowners, charterers, terminals, and inspection agencies.
• Understand the real-time implications of key clauses in charter parties, lifting contracts, and supply agreements.
• Navigate and mitigate operational disruptions such as STS delays, documentation disputes, and vessel vetting failures.
• Identify and reduce exposure to maritime legal risks, sanctions enforcement, and supply chain disruptions.
