News on the forthcoming Marine Money Forum:
9th Annual Hong Kong Ship Finance Forum – Thursday, April 7, 2016
Renaissance Harbour View Hotel, Hong Kong
China’s economy is slowing. Japanese, European and U.S. central banks are implementing diverging policies. The BDI has hit all-time lows. Vessel scrapping activity is picking up and shipyards continue to deliver vessels but on a declining order book. Shipping companies are cutting costs and restructuring their debts and have entered “survival mode.” The market is definitely challenging.
Nevertheless, China’s “One Belt, One Road” initiative shines a light on intra-Asia and global trade while understanding Hong Kong’s vital role as a maritime and finance trading hub is crucial to maintaining the city’s competitiveness. What potential opportunities does the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect offer international shipping companies looking to raise capital through IPOs? With banks and leasing companies restructuring loans, is there scope for consolidation in shipping and indeed opportunity for new entrants and stronger entities? What will stimulate dry bulk and containers? How long will the good times last for tankers? Is LPG on a downward slope and will LNG start the ascent?
Marine Money Asia, with the support of The Hong Kong Shipowners Association and InvestHK, looks forward to seeing you at our 9th Annual Marine Money Hong Kong Ship Finance Forum on 7th April at the Renaissance Harbour View Hotel, where we will provide up-to-the-minute market intelligence and the best shipping and finance networking in Hong Kong.
