Maritime markets in autumn 2010 - Like a phoenix from the ashes?

Institute of Shipping Economics and Logistics invites to the Maritime Conference 2010

On 28th and 29th September, the Institute of Shipping Economics and Logistics (ISL) in cooperation with Baltic Sea Forum invites to the Maritime Conference 2010 in Bremen. Under the theme Maritime markets in autumn 2010 - Like a phoenix from the ashes?, current perspectives, strategies and trends of the most important maritime industries will be presented and discussed by various speakers.

As a result of financial and economic crisis, the maritime markets such as shipping, ports, shipbuilding and ship financing have been significantly affected. After years of above-average growth with a corresponding drop in demand, the investment activities of the industries have been hit particularly hard. There has been overcapacity, price decline and all subsequent negative effects. Meanwhile, there are signs that shipping takes up speed again, as well as related sectors of the maritime economy.

Against this backdrop, the ISL continues its series Maritime Conference on 28th and 29th September 2010. Several distinguished speakers and presenters from industry and government present and discuss in four German-speaking sessions current perspectives, strategies and trends in the areas of shipping, ports, shipbuilding and ship financing. Taking an early registration until 20th August 2010, the ISL offers a discount of 100 Euro on the official entry fee. All information about the application and the conference program can be found in the attachment and at the website www.isl.org/conference. For questions about the event, the ISL is available under maritimeconference@isl.org.
