Every presentation had a different theme and something we could learn from. The type of speakers are unique and the subjects The Maritime Standard have selected are all very interesting.

It’s a good place to network and meet people, and on top of that the quality of speakers was good as usual.
This has been a valuable opportunity to put stakeholders from the maritime and insurance industries together to discuss and identify the common issues and challenges that they are facing and try to put together a framework for better collaboration.
It has been hugely beneficial to be here, there is a lack of understanding amongst many of the banks, many of which might be sitting on the sidelines. Hopefully this conference will give them a push to take a closer look at the industry.
For me as a legal professional in the shipping market the Conference allows me to hear from the horse’s mouth, as it were. You find ship owners and real practitioners of the craft of ship finance speaking to us about their problems and potentially coming to a solution. I don’t think an event can get any more valuable than that.
This is the first time I have attended the Conference and it has been great. A lot of the important players in the local market, as well as internationally, have taken the trouble to come over, so there are plenty of opportunities for networking as well a chance to hear interesting topics.
Shipping needs money and money needs to find a new asset class all the time. So, what The Maritime Standard does very well is bring the right people from banking and shipping together.
It was a pleasure to see that the most important people from the industry were here. It was a very good networking event, allowing us to meet new people. This is very important for us and our clients.
This is the first time I have attended the conference and I was very impressed with the quality level of the attendees and speakers and also the size of the room that allowed so many people to participate today. There were a lot of excellent speakers who gave us a good picture about getting the right finance for your business, which was useful.
The Ship Finance and Trade Conference is always very enjoyable and interesting. Being a finance guy, it’s great to sit and listen to presentations about ports and other kinds of infrastructure projects.
