31 Oct Madeira Maritime Week 2023 / Cyprus Shipping News Crewing Conference
From 15–19 May the Presidency of the Regional Government of Madeira hosted the first Madeira Maritime Week in Funchal on the Portuguese island.
Our Sales & Client Relations Director, Capt. Thomas Reppenhagen, was invited to attend the WISTA Atlantic Forum panel discussion on the topic “Maritime Training and Education”, where he discussed with other industry peers the challenges of making the seafarer profession an attractive career opportunity for young people.
The well-attended events during that week attracted both members of the local shipping industry who showcased their services as well as international companies who chose the flag of Portugal for their vessels. It was a good occasion for raising brand awareness of Uniteam Marine.
Likewise, Capt. Reppenhagen attended the first Cyprus Shipping News Crewing Conference held on 21 June at the Carob Mill Conference Centre in Limassol (Cyprus) to address the topic “How can we prepare for new technologies?” in a panel discussion.
Over 250 delegates registered for this event, and with several keynote speakers including a representative from the European Community Shipowners Association (ECSA) it was a good mix of service providers from various sectors of the shipping industry.
The next big shipping event in Cyprus will be the Maritime Cyprus 2023 Conference to be held from 8–11 October this year in Limassol.
