Apr 24, Colombo: A new shift in the maritime industry is taking place from north to south, with Sri Lanka emerging as the Indian Ocean's new maritime hub, according to the organizer of the Sri Lanka Ports, Trade & Logistics Conference and Exhibition this year.
Seatrade Communications Ltd. announcing the event said the Government of Sri Lanka is rapidly positioning itself as a dynamic part of a 'Southern Maritime zone' following the rise of Singapore and Dubai.
The second edition of the Sri Lanka Ports, Trade & Logistics Conference, Exhibition and awards will be held at the Hilton Hotel, Colombo, from 1st to 3rd May 2013.
Organized by Seatrade and hosted by the Sri Lanka Ports Authority (SLPA), the three-day event will include two-day conference sessions, an exhibition, a gala dinner and awards ceremony, complemented by a cricket afternoon, a hosted port visit and networking opportunities.
The event will be inaugurated on 1st May with a Cricket Day. As a pre-conference social networking activity, with the former Sri Lankan cricketer and Chairman of the Cricket Selecting Committee, parliamentarian Sanath Jayasuriya, as guest of Honour, Seatrade will play a friendly cricket match against Sri Lanka Ports Authority.
The conference and exhibition will be inaugurated on 2nd May with the Presidential Opening Address by President Mahinda Rajapaksa.
The two-day conference sessions will focus on important themes from the maritime and logistics industry, including successfully creating state-of-the-art port and maritime facilities, financing and investing in major maritime and transport projects in Sri Lanka, Indian Ocean transport infrastructure projects, offshore and onshore energy development and production in Sri Lanka, protecting against threats at sea, waterborne tourism and marina development and a workshop about successful free-zone development.
According to Seatrade, although Sri Lanka, with a steadily growing economy, big port projects and other infrastructure planned, is well placed to capitalize on its geographical location and take advantage of the fast growing Indian and Chinese economies, the opportunities are available to all international investors and partners.
