4th European Shortsea Congress
29-30 June 2011
Hamburg Chamber of Commerce, Hamburg
The European Shortsea Congress has established itself as the definitive and premier gathering for the shortsea industry. Previous events have attracted audiences of around 200 senior people representing retailers, buyers of shortsea transport, shippers, receivers, shortsea carriers (liquid-bulk, dry-bulk, feeders, shortsea containers, vehicle, barge), logistics providers, ports & terminals and a range of service providers.
The 2011 Congress will be held in Hamburg 29-30 June where we will be guests of the German shipping community. Such is the importance of this Congress that we have been afforded the honour of a reception at the Hamburg Rathaus hosted by Representative of the Senate, State Secretary Dr Berndt Egert. In addition, we have been allowed to hold our conference at the prestigious Hamburg Chamber of Commerce in the very centre of the city.
The Congress comprises a full two-day conference enhanced by numerous networking events including the centre-piece of every Shortsea Congress – the conference dinner. This year, the dinner will be held onboard a cruise boat and delegates will be treated to a tour of the Port of Hamburg.
The European Shortsea Congress is the only event of its kind where senior representatives from shortsea users, carriers, ports, logistics providers and the whole range of service providers meet to debate the topical issues of the day and also to network and further business opportunities.
We are very grateful to the German Shortsea Promotion Centre for all their help and support in staging this event.
