Intercargo Lunchtime Briefings

From time to time, Intercargo organises gratis lunchtime briefing sessions on our Work Programme for representatives of the dry bulk community.  There are also special briefing sessions on topical interests organised with our single Secretariat partners, Intertanko, held in our offices in London. Further details will be shown here.

The first lunchtime presentation for 2010 took place on 17 Mar 2010 when Jim Barclay of Lloyds Register discussed PSC issues.

The second presentation for 2010 was held on 24 June, when John Foord from SCD (Charts and Publications) gave a presentation on the forthcoming carriage requirement for Electronic Chart Display and Information Systems (ECDIS).


Other Conferences

Although appreciative of the opportunity to speak at the seemingly increasing number of conferences, Intercargo regrets that due to time constraints and the priority for organising its own Lunchtime Briefings, it can only occasionally participate in third-party, paid Conferences. 

If resources permit, presentations can be given on any matter pertaining to the Intercargo Work Programme, where these have a particular connection to the dry bulk sector.  Presentations relating to market conditions or projections should ordinarily be referred to a reputable broker, as these organisations are able to give a better perspective on commercial matters.

Similarly, we are seldom able to endorse or advertise such events, but a selection of conferences with a particular focus on Dry Bulk issues is as follows.  * indicates that a discount is available to paid-up Intercargo members :-
