“In the two years since our last event, global trade movement has faced increasingly challenging economic pressures; the international maritime industry continues to be impacted by future oil price forecasts and the effect of the Chinese trade slowdown has all impacted the industry – so to be able to announce such a significant growth in attendance is reflective of how much the industry is joining hands to overcome challenges and support each other” Emma Howell, Group Marketing Manager, Seatrade

Alongside a buzzing international exhibition, this year’s cleverly programmed conference agenda brought together a panel of maritime industry leaders, influential economists and shipping analysts for an in-depth analysis of the current industry status quo, and also examined regional industry opportunities, along with a series of presentations and ground-breaking case studies on key maritime projects, including Egypt’s Suez Canal expansion, and schedule of educational technical forums. The opening economic forum session on the first morning was chaired by well-known moderator and broadcast journalist, Eithne Treanor, and featured a high profile panel line-up that set the scene for three days of successful conference discussion. Panelists included Abdulrahman Essa Al-Mannai, President & CEO, Milaha; Marcus Machin, CEO, Tufton Oceanic Finance Group; H.E. Admiral Mohab Mohamed Mameesh, Chairman & MD, Suez Canal Authority; Tim Power, MD, Drewry and Tim Fox, Head of Research and Chief Economist at Emirates NBD.

The half-day session covered supply growth patterns, demand influencers and a prognosis of potential future earnings, taking into consideration factors such as trade and ton-mile configurations and order book volume; as well as an analysis of the factors influencing and driving product tanker demand. A brace of technical forums dominated the early afternoon with sessions examining the critical issues facing an ever-changing seascape in terms of shipping and environmental challenges, followed by a lively discussion on Crewing: The vital interface, both held in association with IMarEST.
