INTERTANKO – tanker sustainability
Key issue but change of emphasis (Council and ExCom)
From poor charter/freight rates not covering basic vessel operating costs (min safe freight rate)
To inconsistent, unbalanced c/p terms and vetting practices
And late payment of freight and demurrage • hits owner’s cashflow• increases owner’s working capital req’t
