It is with the greatest sadness that we have to report the death of Ian Middleton, former editor of this magazine and of the highly regarded Seatrade Week and subsequently the Tanker Trends newsletter.Ian started out as a reporter on the Sheffield Morning Telegraph in his native Yorkshire before being recruited by Seatrade.
