The global economy
may still be on a knife edge but Italian
shipping is scenting the first hints of optimism
in the air. The core strengths of Italian owners
have helped them survive volatile markets, and
the depths of competence and innovation right
across Italy’s shipping cluster position them to
take advantage of any opportunity the changing
markets present.
No one is cheering, but there is a feeling that
good old fashioned values of prudence, long term
thinking, family decision making and staying
friends with the banks give Italy’s diverse
marine industries a firm platform for the future.
In Rome leading Italian and international
shipowners will come together with charterers,
traders, brokers, shippers, investors,
shipbuilders, classification societies,
financial institutions, politicians, regulators
and the media, to debate how innovation will
affect ship values, and how the markets will
affect all of them.
The entire production and maritime chain will
gather at this prestigious and unique conference
where the interaction and exchange of
information and ideas will make this an
unforgettable experience.
Rome in May is a lovely city, full of history,
and full of promise for a vibrant future. Join
Italy’s shipping leaders there to discuss,
debate and network in true robust Roman style at
Mare Forum Italy 2010.
We
look forward to welcoming you in Rome,
