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.  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 :-
