Opportunities and Challenges, The Capital Link’s 8th Annual Greek Shipping Forum

Capital Link is hosting its 8th Annual Greek Shipping Forum on Wednesday, February 15th, 2017 at the Divani Caravel Hotel in Athens, Greece, in cooperation with the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ.

Greek shipping remains important to the maritime economy, constituting approximately 20 percent of the world’s shipping fleet. In spite of the volatile markets and economic downturn, Greek shipping professionals have consistently adapted to changing conditions, seeking out growth and opportunity rather than yielding to their circumstances.

FORUM OVERVIEW & STRUCTURE

This event will provide a comprehensive review of current trends and outlook of the global economy and the main commodity, energy and shipping markets. It will also discuss critical issues and challenges the industry faces, including geopolitical and regulatory developments, technical and commercial fleet management and access to capital. It will examine bank financing, capital markets and alternative funding mechanisms and strategies.

Our Athens Forum, in its 8th year, draws consistently over 1,000 delegates and is known for its large attendance by public and private shipping companies’ executives and market participants.

FORUM KEYNOT SPEAKER

Keynote speaker of the Forum is Mr. Zhang Ye, President of the Shanghai Shipping Exchange who will discuss The internationalization of the Chinese Economy and Chinese Shipping”. Mr. Ye was awarded the honor of Shanghai Municipal Leading Talent, Top 10 Finance Leaders in Shanghai and selected as the Top 100 Most Influential People of Shipping Sector by Lloyd’s List consecutively in 2010-2013 and 2015. In 2012, he was also awarded the honor of Top 10 Most Influential Shipping People in China. He works as Shanghai Conference Ambassador since 2013.
