6th Annual Marine Money Istanbul Ship Finance Forum set for April 30th 2009

As Marine Money follows the turbulent behaviour of the financial and shipping markets with great attention, they also announce, together with anchor sponsor Geden Lines, the Finance forum will take place at the Swissotel - The Bosphorus, Istanbul.

Turkey has seen five years of expansion in shipping and port development. The good times have abruptly come to an end with the financial crisis and the resultant falling off in the container and dry bulk shipping sectors and with the tanker market also expected to weaken in 2009. This conference will bring together financiers and practitioners to discuss what went wrong, how best to sustain the pressure and be in a position to take advantage of market opportunities which always arise in a crisis.

Next year, 2009, will be an interesting year in shipping and for the global economy. Don't miss the premier ship finance conference in Turkey on 30th April 2009. Marine Money is currently building its Event Agenda – with up to the moment issues pertaining to the shipping markets and the increasingly fragile financial markets – and further notification of this Event Agenda together with registration details will be sent as soon as is possible.

There is still some time to finalise the Event Agenda so if you have any ideas about issues to be discussed at the conference, please let Marine Money know by return mail. Contact them (Mia Jensen and Kevin Oates) at: [email protected]
