WFN Exhibition Collaborations
WFN Head Office were pleased to announce the following exhibition partnerships:
WFN Collaborate with The Maritime Standard Tanker Conference 2017
The second annual The Maritime Standard Tanker Conference will take place on Tuesday 24th October at the Grosvenor House Hotel in Dubai. Given the tremendous success of the inaugural conference, it is an event that nobody with an involvement in the tanker shipping sector will want to miss.
The one day conference is intended for key decision makers and high level opinion formers within the industry. An elite panel of speakers is being assembled and they will draw on their experience and expertise to highlight the main regional trends in the crude oil and products trades, as well as petrochemical markets; key issues facing the sector; new service and technology developments; and future forecasts.
Attendees will gain a unique insight into the challenges and opportunities that exist within the regional tanker trades. This will apply not just to tanker owners and operators, but to all companies who provide services to this sector. As last year, everyone who attends is guaranteed to leave the conference with a much clearer idea as to how their company can support, and benefit from, regional growth opportunities and industry trends.
A top notch panel of speakers is being assembled, covering a broad range of interests from across the industry. These will include senior executives from major tanker owners and operators, as well as regional shipyards, classification societies, legal services providers, security experts, regulators brokers, financiers, insurers, maritime educators and analysts, and executives from petrochemical companies. All will demonstrate the growing importance of the maritime cluster being developed in the Middle East in supporting regional growth opportunities. Visit Website

AFRICAN PORTS EVOLUTION is a forum where we bring together key maritime stakeholders, so that together we can realise this transport vision.
AFRICAN PORTS EVOLUTION summit and expo fosters interaction between government and the private sector to enhance intra-African and cross border trade, through increased port efficiency, hinterland connectivity and trade corridors.
