Middle East Money & Ships event to look at fiscal challenges

If you want to know more about the financial challenges faced by the regional shipping industry in the global economic slowdown head for Dubai.

On 7-8 October 2009, at Middle East Money & Ships, the premier networking event of the region, these and other related issues are going to be thoroughly examined and solutions probed for the benefit of senior executives from the maritime and finance sectors.

Organised by Seatrade, the conference will assess the regional appetite for investment in shipping, the likely pattern for recovery, as well as providing a realistic assessment of the current order book.

The two-day event will also have sessions on financing the industry which will provide a valuable opportunity for the exchange of information and ideas amongst all market participants in relation to challenges like attracting investment capital.

"The regional maritime industry has witnessed great changes and never more so than in today's financial climate," said Christopher Hayman, Chairman of Seatrade.
