The 2011 BIMCO General Meeting will be held in Vancouver, British Columbia from 6 to 8 June 2011 followed by a series of Seatrade events. Central to the occasion will be a high profile speaker’s conference focusing on matters central to shipping industry concerns. BIMCO and Seatrade are now firming up the arrangements. Over the past twenty years, the British Columbian port has developed into an increasingly important focal point for the Pacific trades, with a strong maritime presence from both Asia and Europe represented locally.
