Fri, 10 Feb 2012 15:31:50 +0000 http://www.placingtraders.com/events/details/3281 http://www.placingtraders.com/events/details/3281 Location: The Mandarin Orchard Hotel, Singapore Full Description: Asdem is pleased to present this two-day workshop which will be run jointly by Roger Sepkes, Managing Director of Asdem Ltd. London and Andrew Wilding, Managing Director of Asdem Asia Pte Ltd. Roger Sepkes and Andrew Wilding have combined their many years' experience of handling claims and resolving disputes to examine a number of interesting issues that have been highlighted by recent court decisions. The workshop will include several case studies and a mock arbitration. It will also involve full participation by the delegates who can bring with them any current problems they would like to discuss. The programme is specifically designed for demurrage analysts, claims handlers and lawyers who already have a reasonable level of experience and may possibly have previously attended Asdem's laytime and demurrage training seminars. The two days allows enough time to cover a range of contentious demurrage claims and should provide delegates with a greater awareness of many aspects of this important subject. In demurrage negotiations, the person with the greatest knowledge and experience will inevitably be best placed to find opportunities for saving money. We have arranged a cocktail reception at the end of the first...

The objective is to give operations staff the information they require to perform their role in the cost-effective and efficient manner that oil trading now demands. Many oil and trading companies have said that their less-experienced operators have benefited greatly from the knowledge that this course has given them, particularly as it draws on a wider range of experiences and viewpoints than most companies can normally provide. This two-day seminar is designed to be as relevant as possible to the operator’s day-to-day responsibilities and will involve active participation by the delegates. The emphasis throughout will be on avoiding expensive errors and anticipating the type of problems which habitually draw trading companies into disputes. The course...

For the past couple of years, strong consumption growth coupled with mine supply shortfalls have kept copper prices high and volatile – fuelled further by the investor community’s penchant for the red metal. But the last few months of economic jitters in the Eurozone, tighter monetary policy in China and sluggish demand in North America have led to rapid downgrading of copper price forecasts by a number of market commentators. Supply disruptions persist but have moved into the background as question marks arise over the strength of consumption globally. China – the powerhouse of copper today – continues to both produce and import more and more metal, but how much of this is being driven by actual demand rather than storage and financial deals? Globally the major producers remain upbeat about copper, but the word from the downstream segment is less optimistic. Metal Bulletin Events’ landmark 25th International Copper Conferencewill provide an informative and timely forum, early in the year, to analyse and discuss the key challenges facing copper as we move through 2012. With Germany the world’s largest exporter of copper semis and Hamburg home to Europe’s largest producer of cathode...
