What do our delegates think

Every spring there is a desired moment of time for the ferry industry. That is the Shippax Ferry Conference. A high-level meeting place for ferry professionals. A place for sharing thoughts, exchanging experience and meeting friends. It is a well-organised event with a good and balanced programme of technical, operational and visionary matters, all including a social flavour.

I have been at Shippax Ferry Conference a number of times over the years both as delegate and speaker. It is a great opportunity to meet business friends in a relaxed and relevant environment to discuss current topics and opportunities. I see this as one of the yearly “must attend” for people in our industry and truly look forward to the next one.
