Tuesday 24th IBIA Basic Bunkering course Wednesday 25th & Thursday 26th Mediterranean Forum Friday 27th One to One meetings with suppliers SPONSORS
IBIA Mediterranean Regional forum 2015 Welcome to the inaugural Mediterranean forum held in Gibraltar, the Gibraltar Straits is a key bunkering hub in Europe with Algeciras, Cueta, Tanger Med and Gibraltar all being bunker supply bases providing the largest supply hub in the Mediterranean, so a natural choice for Gibraltar to hold the 2015 forum. Gibraltar is one of Europe s key bunkering hubs and holding our regional event here gives us an opportunity to show what IBIA is doing to help improve fuel quality, and through our training, help raise standards. Together with the Port of Gibraltar we have put together an event to both educate and inform on the latest bunkering issues, a mix of theoretical, practical and of course the social. Together we believe we are delivering an innovative programme of events not only to update you on the latest issues but allow you to experience the world of bunkering and meet key players in the industry. Whilst in Gibraltar why not take the opportunity to meet with the service providers and address any questions you may have and take advantage of the opportunities that exist. We hope you have a good time.
