TradeWinds Smart Shipping will be the perfect meeting place for ship owners, operators and managers who are taking the next step in the drive for efficiency and profitability in their organizations.

Based on the premise that ship owners can and will engage in more efficient practices and invest in new technologies only when there is a direct positive impact on the bottom line, the SmartShipping conference will dissect smart strategies and practices available for prompt and effective implementation.

Key topics to be discussed at the conference include the ongoing drivers of smarter shipping, practical applications and case studies of smart shipping, the role of regulation in a smart operation, how purchasing processes and supply chains can be smart catalysts and of course, the all-important issue of funding and financing smart projects and ventures. An experienced group of speakers & panelists, all forward-thinkers in their fields and proponents of the smart revolution, will gather to tackle these timely and critical issues.
