A critical examination of the ever-shifting background of incentives to attract shipowners to relocate their headquarters The investment climate for marine transportation Predicting the unpredictable The forum is designed and produced for shipping CEO's from listed and private shipping companies, brokers, key investors in shipping, bankers and entrepreneurs. As with all our events, the mix of commercial, political and business hot topics and hot operators will come together to create a free-flowing debate and give access for all delegates to actively participate, contribute and learn. The Oslo Shipping Forum 2007 will be exceptional in its format, content and through the level and degree of interactivity between the participants. The ultimate goal of the conference is to provide a true forum where all participants are invited to take part in the debate periods after every session in which high profile speakers from the industry have directly addressed the issues.
We look forward to welcoming you to Oslo,
Trond Lillestolen
