Following the excellent finale of informa’s Salvage & Towage successful annual conference, the first of three Christmas events tonight begun with DNV GL’s Christmas Drinks in the early evening hours at the unique environment of the Doggett’s Coat and Badge, just off Blackfriars Bridge at the banks of Father Thames, a place of reference given the Seahorse Club’s* summer parties there. Iris Liaskoni managed to be there from the very beginning and reports:
With more than 100 guests, DNV GL’s team hosted us in the warmest way as every year, with great music, a selection of wines, spirits and vivers of the highest quality. The event was a great opportunity to meet familiar and new faces of the industry that honored this world renown classification society with their presence, and to share with each other different points of view on current shipping business and social topics, creating a productive and pleasant interaction. Good to see many members from the HESGB!**
