London shipping week draws more interest

YET again, this year's Singapore Shipping Week, some three months ago now, was an outstanding success. Focusing many activities into a short space of time to celebrate the maritime industries, and to contribute significantly to the sector's continued development, clearly works.

There are certainly very successful "stand-alone" shipping events , following in the steps of Posidonia. Among them are the recently held Nor-Shipping and, of course, Singapore's long-established Asia Pacific Maritime which returns next March.

Nevertheless, clustering conferences and maritime-related events does appear to work well.
