Turkish Bunker Association Hails Country's Largest-Ever Marine Fuels Event
The Turkish Bunker Association has said last month's Istanbul Bunker Conference was the largest marine fuels event ever held in Turkey.
The event saw 285 bunker-industry stakeholders from 146 different companies attend, Mustafa Muhtaroğlu, chairman of the Turkish Bunker Association, told Ship & Bunker.
"The main topic was, of course, the Med ECA," Muhtaroğlu said.
"New fuels and their technical analyses also took attention.
"The most charming part was great social events, including a gala dinner by Socar Marine at Cırağan Palace, a Bosphorus boat trip by Asmira Group and the second day's dinner by Petrol Ofisi at a unique location, the Rahmi M Koc museum."
The event was held at Çırağan Palace on May 26-27, and included speakers from organisations including IBIA, Moeve, Dan-Bunkering, Peninsula and XO Shipping.
