9th Annual Cargo Conference, Miami Beach, Florida

ASBA will return to the Eden Roc Hotel in Miami Beach, Florida for our 9th Annual Cargo Conference. We have again booked rooms in the spectacular Ocean Tower. This year’s conference will take place September 28 - 30. Our meet & greet opening reception hosted on Sept. 28th and our Sept. 29th dinner cruise up the Intercoastal on the luxurious Biscayne Lady Yacht are designed to give our
delegates the opportunity to get to know each other in casual surroundings.

We have gathered an excellent group of speakers who will address the question, “WHAT’S ON THE HORIZON?” They will share their views on market trends in both the tanker and dry cargo trades with emphasis on LNG, Grain, as well as the Owner’s Perspective. The panels providing delegates with insight into the latest on Current Legal Issues facing the Shipping Industry, Maritime and the Environment, Ship Recycling, Shipping Finance and Market Trends should prove to be timely and informative.
