One industry.One room.

For over 25 years, TradeWinds has

revolutionised the way shipping news

is reported. We have also been doing

something similar with the way business

is done. Our Shipowner Forums bring

together the industry’s most influential

figures, offering unparalleled networking

opportunities.

Personal encounters matter more than

ever. You can use our events to strengthen

existing partnerships and create new

opportunities. You’ll be rubbing shoulders

with your peers as well as the maritime

world’s movers and makers.

And only TradeWinds – with the authority

and credibility that goes with being the

world’s no 1 shipping news service – has

the resources and connections to produce

this prestigious series of global forums. Dubai 9 March

And that’s before we consider the most

valuable platform of all: Topical discussions

can create newsworthy coverage of the

event in TradeWinds’ newspaper and on

our website, the most credible, respected

sources of what’s happening in shipping.

TradeWinds coverage offers its readers a

taste of what was said at the Forum, but it

doesn’t stop there. Images from the Forums

are placed in the TradeWinds editorial photo

archive and can be reproduced in future

news stories. An indication of the continuing

impact your sponsorship can generate

beyond the forum venue.
