Close to 500 guests squeezed into The Grand Ballroom of the Conrad Centennial Singapore for the festivities.

Attendees were treated to a large buffet dinner — including Christmas turkey — all washed down with a plentiful supply of wine and beer.

The OW Bunker bankruptcy dominated conversation among the guests, who will certainly be hoping for a prosperous new year.

Special thanks was given to the sponsors of the event, classification societies ClassNK and DNV GL, and oil major Shell.
