Thorough and practical insight into the specialist requirements for purchasing in the shipping sector. Study the strategic and operational side of purchasing, procurement and supply of goods and services

The ship sale and purchase market is cyclical, and at times volatile. Trading conditions for ship sale and purchase, whether generally or for ships in specific sectors, can change quickly in response to global economic conditions. Where a market trend occurs in the time between signing a contract and completing the sale, one party or the other will have a commercial interest in escaping from the contract.
