Masterclass in Container Shipping - Singapore

Container shipping has powered the expansion of World trade and set China on a export growth path perhaps unmatched in history. Without these dynamic changes, all shipping markets would have been less buoyant in heady years prior to the Credit Crunch. So what are the prospects for the container sector now as the slump in World trade and the orderbook deliveries continue to erode freight rate potential and threaten the survival of many operators?  This timely seminar will examine the special characteristics of the industry that will shape its future, highlighting the dynamic changes that are taking place.
