Successfully running for the 12th consecutive year, the Global Liner Shipping conference hosted over 200 attendees this year, making it the key calendar event of the liner industry.

This years' conference provided answers to key questions on the main issues affecting the industry, including the impact of supply and demand on global freight rate expectations up to 2011 including case studies on current shipping practices and the changing carrier-shipper relationship, environmental considerations, and review of post conference markets.

This year's programme was better than ever and featured high quality strategic and analytical presentations from industry leaders across the sector and facilitated an open and honest discussion.  

• Hot Topic Round Table Surgeries – these sessions provided an additional opportunity for delegates to discuss key issues impacting their industry, in a relaxed and informal environment
• Networking Drinks Reception - over 150 professionals enjoyed a glass of wine with their colleagues, peers and expert speakers
• Global Liner Dinner – great food, great wine and even better company!  The first ever conference at the botique Criterion resturant was a great experience and provided attendees with even MORE networking opportunities

The POST CONFERENCE SEMINAR ON 14TH APRIL 2010:
Emissions control: How will this impact the industry?
This seminar was a great success and reviewed the current debate on super slow steaming and its impact on the supply chain management and port of calls. It  also provided a fresh perspective on the technological innovation in emissions reduction.
