Antwerp hosted the Breakbulk Europe conference from 14 to 16 May, for the eighth year in a row. As the largest breakbulk port in Europe, Antwerp is the largest and most important gathering in Europe for companies involved in the shipping of heavy-lift, project cargo and traditional breakbulk cargoes. It is where shippers have the opportunity to meet and develop relationships with the leading specialized carriers, forwarders, ports, terminals and packers who have the expertise and resources to handle oversized cargoes with unique handling requirements.
For the 2013 edition of Breakbulk Europe, the delegation from CSS Group consisted of Sreenath.V, Sr. General Manager, Projects, Oil & Energy/Operations and Narayan Tagore, General Manager, CSS Bahrain.
Breakbulk presents the shipping and logistics fraternity a great platform to meet and develop relationships with the leading specialized carriers, freight forwarders, ports, terminals, packers and equipment companies who have the expertise and resources to handle oversized and overweight cargoes. “In our industry it is important to keep up with market trends and innovations in order to remain ahead of the curve and to provide the best service to our clients”, said Sreenath.V.
In the space of eight years the conference has expanded from 800 to more than 5000 participants from the international breakbulk and logistics world, so that all the 250 available stands are taken up. Shipping companies, shippers, freight handlers, forwarders, port authorities and service providers can follow presentations by various top speakers, as well as networking with local and global breakbulk players.
Breakbulk Europe 2013 was organised by Breakbulk magazine & events. Breakbulk magazine additionally organises similar conferences in North America and China at which Antwerp will host Breakbulk Europe once more in 2014.
