TMS Ship Finance & Trade Conference 2018, Bobby Varghese, VP- Financial Strategy, Abu Dhabi Ports

Clive Woodbridge, Editor, The Maritime Standard interviews Bobby Varghese, Vice President- Financial Strategy, Abu Dhabi Ports
on attending The fourth Maritime Standard Ship Finance & Trade Conference which was held on Tuesday, 6th November at Sheraton Abu Dhabi Hotel & Resort

The fourth Maritime Standard Ship Finance and Trade Conference, held at Abu Dhabi’s Sheraton Hotel and Resort, was in many ways very different from the preceding three events in this increasingly popular series. While in other years the sense of challenge and adversity was dominant, this year speakers at the one-day conference were generally much more optimistic and upbeat about market prospects, although a number of potential hazards on the road to full recovery were also much in evidence.

Keynote addresses were given by H.E. Ahmed Shareef Alkhoori, Director General, Federal Transport -Land & Maritime who underlined some of the positive changes being planned for the country’s maritime laws, and the proactive role the UAE is now taking in its role as an IMO Council member, and Capt. Mohamed Juma Al Shamisi, CEO of Abu Dhai Ports, who called for a new era of collaboration between the financial sector and those active in shipping and ports.
