The Maritime Industry Forum is a great opportunity for maritime professionals to gain an insight into the current industry obstacles and future industry plans within the broad maritime sector. Not only will key industry leaders speak about the current issues they face but they will look at how they can be overcome by working together. Individual attendees will have an opportunity to question the key industry leaders on their plans and how they approach obstacles they are faced with.
The Forum will also highlight key areas where synergies need to be developed in order to put the Ireland at the forefront of the Maritime Sector worldwide.
The event which will be formally opened by Minister Simon Coveney will begin with an overview of the Maritime Industry by Fergal O’Brien (IBEC) and Liam Lacey (Director of the IMDO).
