THE world financial markets may have suffered
a wobble over the last few months, but so far most sectors of shipping are
still making more money than anyone ever expected. So ship financiers should
be happy, with record newbuildings to finance and the general consensus that
the good times can roll on a little longer.
But can they, and what are the costs and crises which shipping can look
forward to?
Come to Amsterdam and join leading shipowners and financiers in a very
personal rolling discussion of where shipping is going, what challenges and
opportunities it must face up to and where the smart money is going next.
Now in its seventh year, this Mare Forum Ship Finance conference attracts a
very high level audience who appreciate the dynamic format and honest debate
which has become its hallmark.
Join them, meet the top bankers and owners, and discuss money and ships with
market makers and industry shapers.
