Please join Capital Link’s 7th Annual Greek Shipping Forum on the topic of "Opportunities & Challenges” in Athens, Greece on Tuesday, February 16, 2016.

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.

This event will not only cover the latest developments and trends in international trade, dry bulk commodities, and the energy markets—framed against the broader backdrop of the global economy—but also review the various funding alternatives for raising capital among listed and private shipping companies. Experts will additionally address effective investment strategies and risk management in today’s shipping industry.

Capital Link Forums are known for combining rich educational and informational content with unique marketing and networking opportunities. They generate exceptional visibility for speakers, sponsors and participants.
