“London v Singapore” - The sun most definitely has not set in the West

This week saw the Institute of Chartered Shipbrokers’ London and South East Branch hold their Autumn seminar in conjunction with London International Shipping Week. A capacity audience of 120 shipping industry professionals were enthralled by two very passionate presentations,the outcome confirming London’s on-going role as the predominant global shipping centre.
The seminar, titled ‘“London v Singapore” Is the sun setting in the West?’, saw Heidi Heseltine (Managing Director of Singapore & London based specialist shipping recruitment firm Halcyon Recruitment) make a very strong case for Singapore being the main shipping hub following the substantial growth in their shipping sector over the past decade. However this was not enough to persuade the audience that London had completely lost its crown, and Alan Marsh (former CEO of Braemar Shipping Services PLC), was able to demonstrate that key elements of the London market will continue to play a dominant role going forward.
The seminar was followed by a lively drinks reception and networking session.
The Institute of Chartered Shipbrokers’ London and South East Branch would like to thank Clyde & Co for their very generous support of this event.
