WHILE FAMOUS PACIFIC SHIPPING GROUP CELEBRATES 20 YEARS
From October 23rd-26th, over 100 freight consolidators came together to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Famous Pacific Shipping Group and attend the FPS Group 20th Annual General Meeting. This year the members of FPS Group met in Ningbo, China. Ningbo is one of the oldest cities in China and is also home to one of China’s most important seaports.
Every year an FPS Group member hosts the FPS Group AGM, and Portever Ningbo was awarded the honor of hosting this year’s event. Portever Ningbo selected the Westin Ningbo as the venue for the 20th AGM, and chose a scenic riverside venue for the Farewell Dinner.
CSS Group was represented by Chandrakala (CK), COO, NVOCC. CSS Group has a long-standing relationship with FPS since its inception. “The conference provided a perfect platform to discuss the challenges and the opportunities for the freight forwarding fraternity. Moreover, attending FPS AGM was important to CSS, as this gave us the chance to interact with the most experienced heads of companies and meet and greet all our friends” mentioned Chandrakala.
This year’s event was kicked off by a cocktail reception that offered a wide variety of light foods, a good selection of drink options, and the opportunity for AGM attendees to meet, and even get a head start on their One-One Meetings.
On the 24th and 25th, attendees spent their mornings listening to presentations from new companies who have joined since last year’s event in Morocco, and also a Forum session that allowed for members to discuss suggested policies and changes to the group. In the afternoon of both days’ members were focused on One-One Meetings.
The AGM closed with an Al Fresco Riverside Farewell Dinner on Ningbo’s Old Bund. The evening featured skilled performers, delicious food, and delightful beverages.
The members and the associates are all looking forward to 2019 following the success of this year’s event in Ningbo.
