Dear ,
During Project Cargo Summit 2018 on the 12th and 13th September in Rotterdam (the Netherlands) the latest market developments, trends and innovations on project cargo will be discussed. We are proud to announce the first conference speakers and topics. 
What is the outlook for heavy lift and shipping market? Susan Oatway, Lead Researcher Heavy lift and MPV vessels at Drewry Maritime Research, will talk about the impact of the difficult years behind us.
Is the downturn finally over, can we look forward? Representatives of carriers in sea transport of heavy lift and project cargo will react. What are their expectations and strategies?
What are success factors for ports in facilitating growth for the project cargo and heavy lift industry?
Roy van Eijsden (Director Maritime Advisory) and Johan-Paul Verschuure (Associate Director Maritime) of consulting firm WSP have studied how ports can expand their activity in project cargo.
In their co-presentation they will reveal the keys to successful policy.
Innovation: fiber instead of steel?
Innovation helps working better, safer and faster. Nico Janssen is Segment Manager Industrial Markets at DSM Dyneema shows how the world’s strongest fiber can help.
The combination of extreme strength and lightness makes Dyneema suitable for a wide and expanding range of applications. Also in the heavy lift industry. With ropes and slings with Dyneema it’s possible to lift heavier net loads with the same crane.
Why is project cargo of growing importance for the Port of Rotterdam?
At the start of the conference Allard Castelein will welcome all participants. He is President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Port of Rotterdam. In De Onderzeebootloods (a former submarine hall) visitors experience the dynamics and activities of the hosting port. Allard Castelein will explain why project cargo is of growing importance for Rotterdam.
