Platts Webinar: The Final Countdown To IMO 2020 – Is Your Company Ready?

The implementation by the IMO of new tighter global bunker specifications is just around the corner in 2020 and will be one of the most disruptive changes to ever affect the refining and shipping industries. It will have a global impact in excess of $1 trillion over 5 years.

Platts Analytics (led by Rick Joswick) has just completed an extensive study on IMO 2020 to understand the impact on refining, the shipping industry and many other ripple effects across the entire value chain.

The study and complementary data go into details and insights on the following:

The impact of non-compliance, rate of installation of scrubbers and amount of fuel switching to low sulphur fuel oil, gasoil or LNG
The associated blends and consequences on the balance of products to meet the new specification
Refiners' response to increase complex capacity utilisation to maximise destruction of residues and actions to meet the short-fall in distillates
The associated implications of changes to refinery operations on other products streams and chemicals
Detailed description on surplus HSFO disposition and impact on market structure
Most likely consequences on flat price and impact on clean and dirty product cracks and spreads between now and 2025
Comparison of our outlook with forward curves
Impact on light-heavy crude differentials
Associated tensions for shipping costs, arbitrages, global trade and the economy

Join us for our Platts Webinar 'The Final Countdown to IMO 2020 – Is Your Company Ready' where we will be presenting the key highlights of our study.
