APM MARITIME SEMINAR

15 January 2020, Hotel Istana KLCC

Supported by Malaysia Shipowners’ Association (MASA), the APM Maritime Seminar taking place on 15 January 2020 at Hotel Istana KLCC gathers domestic and international maritime experts to discuss the future and challenges of Malaysia’s maritime industry.

Malaysia is a strategic maritime hub in Southeast Asia, with two of the region’s main maritime corridors – the South China Sea and the Straits of Malacca – critical to the trillion-dollar global shipping industry and navigating through Malaysia’s waters and economic zone.

Now in the midst of the Malaysia Shipping Master Plan 2017 – 2022 with the main objective of revitalising shipping for a stronger economy, and faced with up-and-coming disruptions such as the IMO 2020 sulphur cap compliance as well as digitalisation, industry leaders will need to re-think and re-strategise their business models to remain competitive and profitable in the next decade.

To address these concerns, Asia Pacific Maritime is presenting: Future of Vessels, Solutions for Tomorrow, where leading industry thought leaders will shed insights on effectively and efficiently navigating these challenges.

Join us at the APM Maritime Seminar. Registration is FREE.
