Complete Corporate Services Pte Ltd will be hosting the Singapore Shipping Conference 2012 on Thursday, 26 April 2012 at the Marina Bay Sands Expo and Convention Center. The principal sponsor is Moore Stephens LLP Singapore. This Conference is held in conjunction with the Singapore Maritime Week 2012, organised by the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore.
With an oversupply of vessels, depressed freight rates, rising bunker costs, vessel value impairment and reduced access to funding, the shipping industry continues to face serious challenges. Some of these issues will be addressed at the Conference. We hope participants will be able to obtain insights into these issues and updates on current developments affecting the shipping industry. The special focus will be on the maritime sector’s outlook and opportunities as the shipping industry looks to navigate its way through the economic storm.

Seminar on CSR activities for the Shipping Industry
Date: 26 April 2012 Venue: Marina Mandarin, Venda Ballroom, Level 5 Time: 1400 – 2000hrs (Including cocktail reception)
The growing shortage of seafarers has become an issue of global concern in light of the recent rapid
growth of the maritime industry, as predicted by “BIMCO/ISF Manpower 2010 Update”, JITI/NF’s
study, etc. It is broadly pointed out that the reason for this shortfall is that fewer young people are
attracted to the seafaring profession and young seafarers want to move on to land-based jobs. One
fundamental solution is to improve the public image and status of the shipping industry by developing
a corporate social responsibility agenda that will attract potential young seafarers to the maritime
profession.
Key issues for a shipping company which is considering introduction/improvement of its CSR activities
are what CSR means and what kind of CSR activities it engages in. This seminar will provide a forum
to address these issues.
Please refer to the agenda on the next page.
