But if Hadjipateras is to be known as more than the 'sector's version of Dr No, there has to be more to the plan. Where does Dorian go from here, and how does it show shareholders that its rejection of Navigator Holdings denies wrongdoing in alleged sanctions-busting Navigator Holdings is denying any wrongdoing after three of its ships appeared on a list of vessels that worked to deliver petroleum to Syria's ruling government in violation of various international sanctions.

Q1 US refining earnings likely to focus on finishing touches ahead of IMO 2020 As US refiners complete plant upgrades to meet increased demand for cleaner bunker fuel next year, some are tempering earlier expectations regarding market impact as the deadline looms, anticipating questions from analysts during their results calls. Washington rail bill could put 150,000 b/d of Bakken oil shipments at risk Washington state lawmakers may soon approve a bill which could put an estimated 150,000 b/d of Bakken crude at risk of being moved through the state, potentially causing a major adjustment in domestic crude flows. International Chamber of Shipping warns of continuing overcapacity threat The global shipping industry has yet to fully come to terms with fleet overcapacity and unsustainably low freight rates, 10 years after the massive downturn of 2008, Simon Bennett, deputy secretary general at the International Chamber of Shipping, said Wednesday at an industry event in Istanbul. Distillates from newbuild VLCCs arrive into Europe, Latin America Most of the newbuild VLCCs which brought distillates from the East towards Europe in the last month have stayed in West Africa, but some of the volume on board has made its way to Europe regardless, according to trade sources and cFlow, S&P Global Platts trade flow software.
