It’s not often you’ll find the most influential, high-profile players in the maritime world all in the same place, but there’ll be a strong line-up of big names in Hong Kong next week for China Maritime 2012!
More than 2,500 industry representatives from more than 35 countries attended the last China Maritime Week two years ago, including some 1,600 senior executives from ship-owning companies, design firms, shipbuilders and suppliers. This year promises to be even stronger, with key figures from across the marine world, including shipping and work boats, equipment manufacturers and suppliers, policy-makers, regulators and media figures, and experts on the marine environment.
China Maritime will get started on February 28, with Ms Eva Cheng, Secretary for Transport and Housing for the Hong Kong Self-Administered Region Government, giving an address during the opening ceremony at the Hong Kong Conference and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC). Along with a world-leading maritime exhibition, there will be a wide-ranging schedule of conferences and seminars. 
Later on the first day, distinguished maritime commentator Michael Grey will be one of four high-profile speakers addressing a seminar held by the Young Professionals in Shipping Network (YPSN). Among a number of notable events on February 29, INTERFERRY will hold its regional meeting, led by the ferry industry trade association’s CEO Len Roueche.
Issues affecting the marine environment will be discussed throughout the week, with a World Ocean Council (WOC) briefing seminar on the second day, and the Clean Ships, Seas, Shores and Ports conference and luncheon on March 1. Among those addressing the conference will be WOC founder Paul Holthus and INTERMEPA’s Neil Baird – both highly regarded authorities on environmental issues, representing the pragmatic, non-extremist side of the debate.
And China Maritime also offers the chance to mingle with the great and the good in a more informal setting, with a cocktail reception on the first night, and numerous social functions scheduled throughout the week. The Sailors’ Society charity dinner, at the Shangri-La Hotel on February 29, promising fine dining as well as entertaining anecdotes from the guest speaker, popular sports presenter Dougie Donnelly.
