Over-processed fuel leaves oil tankers adrift
Oil tankers powerless at sea with fuel problems are part of the legacy of Auto Oil II [Nov 03]

is perhaps the best known reporter and columnist covering Europe’s downstream oil industry. He is currently European Editor of Hydrocarbon Processing magazine - 'the industry bible' as some call it.

For Hart Publications, Tim launched and for four years edited the then fastest-growing newsletter in the UK group’s history, before taking on a magazine column and commercial duties as Hart’s Director of European Affairs.

The latter has meant sole responsibility for increasing advertising and special projects sales in Europe to their highest historic level.

At the height of the 2000 European fuels crisis, Tim was interviewed for the BBC’s flagship news show Panorama. And in the era that saw Europe enact one of the largest and most controversial bodies of policy in its history, Tim was at the Brussels and Strasbourg Parliaments to cover the birth of Europe’s own clean air programme.

Naturally, Tim has made many friends at all levels of industry and policy development.

Commissioned by The Times and Observer newspapers, as well as BBC Radio Four’s PM and World at One news programmes, Tim’s varied journalistic career means he is as at home writing his monthly column on events in industry, as he is in negotiating the protocol of setting up and interviewing business leaders.

For six years, Tim chaired and organised the programme of the World Fuels Conference in Brussels.

Tim lives among the oil products shipping community of Donsö on Gothenburg’s southern Archipelago – a short distance from the Swedish Shell, Preem and Scanraff refining operations and the home of Volvo Cars.
