Geneva Dry: 90 days to go

There’s just 90 days to go until the second edition of Geneva Dry, the world’s premier commodities shipping conference, with organisers urging people thinking about signing up to do so quickly to avoid disappointment.

At last year’s inaugural event, organisers were forced to issue a ‘Sold Out’ sign weeks ahead of the summit, and while preparations have been made to accommodate 200 extra delegates this year, sign ups to the trade gathering are pouring in fast.

Confirmed chartering speakers for this year’s event – taking place on April 28 and 29 at the Hotel President Wilson on the shore of Lake Geneva – include Anglo American, Cargill, Eramet, Fortescue, Heidelberg Materials Trading, Montfort Trading, Trafigura and Vale while confirmed shipowner speakers include the likes of 2020 Bulkers, Ariston Navigation, Cetus Maritime, CTM, d’Amico Dry, Drydel Shipping, Fednav, G2 Ocean, Himalaya Shipping, Mandarin Shipping, Marfin Management, Nova Marine Carriers, Oceanbulk Maritime, Precious Shipping, Seanergy Maritime, Star Bulk, SwissMarine, Taylor Maritime Investments, United Maritime, Wah Kwong and Western Bulk.

Geneva Dry brings together all elements of the commodities shipping sector to host the ultimate dry bulk shipping event.

Split into sectors, panels will bring together analysts, financiers, miners, traders and shipowners to discuss where the markets are headed. Sessions include:

– Minor Bulks
– Agri-commodities
– Coal
– Iron Ore
– Decarbonisation

People flying in to Switzerland for the event are advised to spend some extra days in Geneva as multiple other gatherings are taking place that week including parties hosted by brokers and charterers, golf days, workshops as well as the annual general meetings of both the Poseidon Principles and the Sea Cargo Charter.
