A five-day event will be held early next year to promote the strengths and advantages that Hong Kong has to offer the shipping industry. Shipping Hong Kong week, which will comprise a maritime exhibition, conferences, workshops and social events between 27 February and 2 March, has been created to alleviate some of the burdens world markets are presenting to the shipping industry.

The three one-day conferences now open for registration are Crisis Media Management, Risk Management and The Business of Shipping. For more information, visit www.shippinghongkong.com.
