Recession beaters in focus at influential Interferry forum

Strategies to overcome global economic strife will dominate Interferry’s 34th annual conference this year, which takes place in Istanbul, Turkey between 14-17 October. Highlighting the credit crunch and Istanbul’s bridgehead position between Europe and Asia, the conference theme is ‘At the crossroads – choosing the best route through challenging times.’

Major sessions of the conference will address a range of recession-driven issues. A guide to surviving financial meltdown will include banking, ferry operator and oil industry insights; managing risk will be assessed from legal and insurance aspects; and an IT session – practical applications for making money – will feature software solutions for revenue management/forcasting and asset tracking.

The conference is due to open with a welcome from the Turkish premier and a keynote address from the Turkish transport minister. This will be followed by a review of urban ferry innovations in Istanbul, Nigeria, London and Hong Kong and insights on emerging markets in the Black Sea, the Red Sea, Oman and Iran.
