Maritime CEO Forum Hong Kong

Tuesday October 2, 2018
Foreign Correspondents Club, Hong Kong

Three high-level panels:
Tanker Market Outlook
2020 Vision
Dry Bulk Market Outlook

Networking:
Reception on the FCC Verandah

Maritime CEO Forum returns to Hong Kong this year, and will take place the day before the Global Maritime Forum.

The event is designed as the anti-shipping conference, with three panels packed full of shipowner CEOs. No presentations, no slides, no selling, just the top people in the industry discussing pressing issues.

Maritime CEO Forum is invitation only and will be limited in size to ensure all attendees can make the most of the afternoon.

FORUM SCHEDULE:

12:30pm: Registration & light refreshments

1:30pm: Ask the doctor

Maritime Strategies International’s Dr Adam Kent takes questions from the floor on the markets to get participants in the mood for this interactive forum.

2:00pm: Tanker Market Outlook

Has the market bottomed out, what new tradelanes offer the best hope and how does a trade war impact business will all be topics up for discussion.
