Massive Shipowner Attendance Confirmed For Next Month’S Geneva Dry

Alberta Shipmanagement, Alcos Transport, A.O. Schifffahrt, Ariston Navigation, Asiatic Lloyd Maritime, and Asyad Shipping Company are just the shipowners beginning with A who will be attending next month’s Geneva Dry, an event that is shaping up as one of this year’s largest gatherings of shipowners and operators.

Taking place on April 28 and 29 at the Hotel President Wilson on the shore of Lake Geneva, the shipping summit will host many of the world’s largest shipowning companies, alongside the world’s top charterers and many of the industry’s leading shipmanagers.

“Shipowners clearly value the chance to sit down with some of their largest clients to seek new business and come up with solutions to some of shipping’s most pressing issues,” commented Grant Rowles, Geneva Dry’s co-founder, noting in particular the interest many shipowner delegates have expressed in the event’s new digital sessions, as well as a risk mangagment workshop alongside established panels such as the Dry Decarbonisation debate.

Switzerland counts around 900 commodity traders including giants such as Glencore, Gunvor, Mercuria and Vitol. Its share in global trading is estimated at 35% for oil, 60% for metals, 50% for cereals, and 40% for sugar, ensuring shipowners have to visit the landlocked country regularly for business.
