Finanzierung | Financing lnvesting into a new era. Strategies for 2020 and beyond … Save the date for another must-attend conference and networking event: The HANSA-Forum »Shipping | Financing« is going to tackle some of the most pressing issues, trying to capture the shape of things to come. Join us 22 November 2018, Sofitel Hotel, Hamburg A recovery in shipping markets and rising expectations are fuelling investor interest in shipping again. However, there are huge unknowns, causing uncertainty for vessel buyers, financiers and operators. The 0.5% global sulphur cap for marine fuels in 2020 is bound to shake up economics in shipping while the effects of new ballast water regulation are just beginning to show. Finally, an ambitious carbon emission strategy has been agreed for shipping, potentially leading to a new set of incentives and penalties. The changes that are coming up are probably the most fundamental in a long time. Further, the world of ship financing remains in transformation, forcing shipowners, managers and investors to find new solutions. Huge non-performing shipping loan portfolios wait to be restructured or sold off while some new players dip their toe into the market – an opportunity? Also, after 10 years of crisis, some former German KG players are studying options to revive retail equity-placing for shipping – are private investors ready for it? As every year, we aim to provide sharp analysis, guidance and debate through a diverse and exciting programme of keynote speeches, insightful presentations, interviews and roundtable debates with international decision-makers and experts in shipping. Join us to network and mingle with hundreds of colleagues in a relaxed atmosphere with cocktails and food in the splendid surroundings of the Sofitel Hotel. With more than 450 high-level delegates from ship owners and managers, banks, investors, brokers to advisors and other service providers, the HANSA Forum »Shipping | Financing« has proven to be one of the must-attend shipping conferences around the world – now in its 22nd year.
