- Security and Tradability: Maritime risk assessments were shared, focusing on West Africa and the Indian Ocean. Measures to maintain tradability such as SIRE inspections and USCG compliance were emphasized.
- STS Documentation and Off-Hire Discussions: Progress from working groups on ship-to-ship (STS) documentation and revised off-hire principles highlighted continued efforts to streamline operations and ensure fairness among pool partners.
- Strategic Digitalization: Hafnia shared developments in its ongoing digitalization initiatives on fleet performance and tracking.
Beyond formal presentations, TAOC provided a valuable setting for informal exchanges and networking, reflecting Hafnia Pools dedication to mutual learning and continuous improvement.
