Monday 27th April 2009

Recovery - it’s all about China Returning to Shanghai in April 2009, the 6th Shipping China Energy Conference is ideally timed to help you find answers to the critical challenges now facing the industry.

With central themes of ‘Strategies for Recovery’ and ‘Changing Relationships in the New Economic Landscape’, the conference will seek hard facts and informed opinion about some of the most burning questions in shipping, such as how will the Chinese government stimulus package help shipping and what opportunities will arise?

Among many specific issues addressed, the packed agenda will examine the rising risk of counterparty failure and how charterers, owners and brokers can build successful relationships in the new business environment.

New for 2009 – The TradeWinds Forum at Shipping China Energy Maritime industry conferences often lack time for genuine audience interaction and debate and so Shipping China Energy 2009 will dispense with the traditional speaker table and feature two innovative and open sessions with top level industry panelists. The Forums will provide an opportunity for delegates to fully engage with panelists to get thoughts aired and questions answered.

TradeWinds Web TV will record the Forums and edited highlights will be broadcast on our website.

Shipbuilding in China As shipowners reassess their newbuildings in China in the face of recent market upheavals, the conference will also deliver the latest analysis of shipyard capacity and the impact of cancellations. And for those vessels remaining on the order book, we will examine how to maintain and monitor quality when times are tough.

Extensive social networking programme The social functions at Shipping China Energy have become legendary, featuring guest chefs, imported seafood and the stunning Shangri-La River Terrace over looking the Huangpu. The Conference has been designed to maximize delegate interaction and value for your time and money.

Make Shipping China Energy 2009 a key part of your calendar and join us in Shanghai and find out for yourself how China will impact your business.
