S&P Global Platts

With IMO 2020 rapidly approaching, this is the perfect time to get some last minute news and views on the changes ahead. In this joint webinar between S&P Global Platts and IBIA you will hear about how Platts is adapting to the new 0.5% world, and about the impact the changes could have on a range of product prices.

Leading editors from our respected S&P Global Platts bunker fuel team will be joined by Unni Einemo, Director of IBIA (international Bunker Industry Association), to discuss the impact of IMO 2020 on fuel oil prices, middle distillate outlooks and forward curves and suggestions on new ISO specifications for 0.5% fuel. The panelists will also answer your questions on how to sail through the IMO 2020 sulfur cap.
