<\/p>\nIn a competitive business environment, the global recession had a little impact on the recently concluded 2nd Annual Breakbulk Asia Transportation Conference and Exhibition. The exhibition was held at Suntec Convention Exposition Centre in Singapore. A total of 1,939 attendees traveled from all over the world to network with some 120 exhibitors and attend two days of panel discussions featuring industry leaders addressing the specialized challenges and transportation trends facing the breakbulk and heavylift sector.<\/p>\n

As stated by Peter Tirschwell, senior vice president at UBM Global Trade, which owns The Journal of Commerce and JoC Events, the organizer of the event \u201cThe record attendance outpaces last year\u2019s crowd by 21 percent, a figure that we believe indicates the heavylift sector in Asia is definitely in a recovery mode.\u201d<\/p>\n
