Course description
LPG: The valuable by-product, a fuel with a wide range of end uses and petrochemical feedstock. This course provides an intensive, wide-ranging knowledge- based decision support workshop for business professionals operating in the world of LPG. The course is heavily case study oriented with opportunities to work on value chains through alternative business strategies and disposal options, assessing market values, shipping economics and a trading simulation game.

It is held in association with Richardson Lawrie Associates Ltd with a highly qualified team of presenters
Please note: a laptop and up-to-date version of Office would be an advantage in order to engage in market data; however it is not essential.
