New regulations to fuel an upswing” ved Petter Haugen, Senior Equity Analyst i DNB Markets.
Tougher environmental regulations like the Ballast Water Management Convention and International Maritime Organization’s Sulphur limit have been ratified in recent months.

"Tankmarkedet og utsiktene fremover", ved Dag Kilen, Senior Shipping Analyst, Fearnleys Research
Svak inntjening det siste året og forventning om det samme gjennom store deler av 2018 ventes å resultere i relativt få leveringer av nybygg i 2019 og 2020.
Shipping vil måtte forholde seg til implementering av IMOs 2020 sulfur cap, og forventet økt skraping av eldre skip, med lav netto og effektiv flåtevekst som resultat i 2020. Etterspørselen forventes tilbake i l a 2018 når OPEC er ferdig med å rebalansere oljemarkedet, og manglende investeringer i ny oljeproduksjon de siste tre årene ventes å snu overskudd til underskudd, og markedets fokus vil skifte til å sikre oljeforsyning. Det ventes at tankmarkedet vil se en sterkere inntjeningsperiode fra sent 2018 til gjennom 2020.

"ECO-skip - påvirkning av nye miljøkrav på dagens flåte og videre todeling av markdet", ved Jens-Julius R. Nygaard, adm. dir. i Awilco
Fokus på miljø og skipsfartens påvirkning gjennom utslipp til sjø og luft er, og vil bli, et stadig mer aktuelt tema og fremtvinge økt skraping av tonnasje. De nye ECO-skipene har vist seg å levere bedre enn forventet og gir allerede rederne et betydelig konkurransefortrinn både med tanke på miljøgevinsten og inntjening. Dette forventes å bidra til å skape et todelt marked som på sikt bør føre til en bedre balanse i tilbudet. Etterspørselssiden virker svært robust i årene fremover, bl.a. knyttet til Asia, men det store spørsmålet for tank er hva som vil skje på nybiggingssiden og hvordan det vil påvirke utsiktene.
Nygaard har sittet i styret i Shippingforum i 5 år fra 2011 til 2016, som styremedlem og nestleder.
