Trading and Shipping Working Together (Amsterdam, Netherlands - November 7-10, 2017) - Research and Markets

The "Trading and Shipping Working Together" conference has been added to Research and Markets' offering.

This course is designed for both operational staff and new traders. The goal is to teach participants how shipping is more than just a means of getting oil from one place to another, but is instead a key tool in creating and managing trades. Participants will learn about the basics of shipping from a trader's point of view as well as the intricacies of managing shipping risk. There will be multiple exercises and simulations putting the theory into practice.

Participants will work on simple and complex exercises during the training. The final exercise will bring together all the elements and test how well participants can integrate all the elements as they execute an arbitrage trade. The course is highly participatory; experiences are shared and questions lead to fruitful discussions.
