Resilience Amid Global Economic Uncertainty – What Does the Future Hold for Middle East Liner Shipping?

The only event dedicated to the Middle East's liner shipping industry.

At the Middle East Liner Shipping Conference delegates heard answers to these pivotal questions affecting Middle East containerised trade:

  • Dealing with a downturn or ramping up for a recovery - how do ocean carriers view 2012 in the Middle East liner trades?

  • Are ports’ expansion plans keeping ahead of the growth in container traffic and are mainline and feeder services being satisfactorily accommodated?

  • How are changing regional trade patterns changing the balance between transhipment and direct calls?

  • Middle East petrochemicals expansion - will this increase the region’s containerised exports?

  • The Middle East: A sea-air cargo hub – how can carriers/forwarders/shippers co-operate to increase volumes?

  • Future supply chain challenges in the Middle East – what’s the answer?

  • How is piracy impacting Middle East trade?
