A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Nigel Draffin has been involved in shipping for over 42 years and with the commercial bunker market for over 22 years. After joining Shell Tankers as an apprentice engineer in 1966, he progressed through the ranks, serving on all classes of vessel including very large crude carriers (VLCCs) and liquefied natural gas (LNG) tankers. He came ashore in 1979 to join the newbuilding department of Shell International Marine. After two years of new construction in Ireland, Korea and the Netherlands, he transferred to Shell s Research & Development unit, specialising in control systems, fuel combustion and safety systems. In 1986, Nigel moved to the commercial department as a bunker buyer and economics analyst. In 1988, he was promoted to be Head of Operational Economics, responsible for all of the fuel purchased for the Shell fleet, the operation of the risk management policy and the speed / performance of the owned fleet. In March 1996, he joined the staff of E.A.Gibson Shipbrokers Ltd in the bunker department, and became the manager. In 2006, this department merged with US-based broking house LQM Petroleum Services, where Nigel is currently Senior Broker and Technical Manager. Nigel is a founder member of the International Bunker Industry Association (IBIA) and has served twice on its council of management. He currently serves as co-ordinator of the Education Working Group and is the author of IBIA s Basic Bunker Course. He is a member of the Institute of Marine Engineering Science and Technology and Past Master of the Worshipful Company of Fuellers. Nigel is a born communicator and dedicated teacher, whose simple style and vast knowledge of the subject mean that he is consistently voted one of the most effective lecturers on the courses he teaches. His contributions to the well-established Oxford Bunker Course over the past decade or so stand out for particular attention, as much for his teaching abilities as for his undeniable social skills.
