UKRAINIAN PORTS FORUM AND GRAIN&MARITIME DAYS IN ODESSA AGREED ON PARTNERSHIP

Ukrainian Ports Forum and Grain&Maritime Days in Odessa organizers agreed on cooperation, aimed at facilitating the brightest business program for participants of the Ukrainian Transport Week in Odessa to be held in late May 2019.

Volodymyr Shemayev, Head of the SE “USPA” Strategic Planning Department and member of Ukrainian Ports Forum 2019 organization committee, noted: “This year, leading port experts from Ukraine, Europe, Asia and the USA will visit Ukrainian Ports Forum again. We expand regularly the business program, set the most vital issues and trends for discussion. Ukrainian Sea Ports Authority tries to make this forum an effective instrument for business networking. Therefore we were glad to accept our partners’ proposal for extending opportunities for business contacts of our event delegates”.

Partnership program provides special participation conditions for the guests of both events, jointly with special programs for conference speakers.

Arthur Nitsevych, Interlegal partner, noted: “In late May, a lot of business events for grain and maritime business managers are held traditionally in Odessa. It was the main concept of Maritime Days in Odessa – a set of events with common idea, similar to London Shipping week. We certainly support such progress. It attracts business tourists, professionals in transport, logistics, shipping and international trade, so Odessa may become famous for the maritime capital of the whole Black Sea Region, not only Ukraine”.

Organizers also propose partnership for other transport and maritime events, in order to facilitate investment potential development in Ukraine by joint efforts and synergy.

Ukrainian Ports Forum 2019 will be held on May 30-31. This international forum, held first in 2018, is organized by the Ukrainian Sea Ports Authority and the Centre for Transport Strategies. It is a platform for discussing port and industrial vital problems, with market players, state officers, international society, Ukrainian and foreign investors and financiers, market experts and analysts engaged.

Grain&Maritime Days in Odessa is a set of events, aimed traditionally at communication between experts in grain and transport industries. This event, to be held in Odessa on May 30 – June 1, will include three sections: Grain&Maritime Days International Conference organized by APK-Inform Agency and Interlegal; traditional Odessa Shipping Dinner and amateur football tournament Odessa Shipping Cup, both organized by Interlegal.
