It was a great privilege to be invited to meet with many professional shipping agents from around the world at the ICEFAT Conference in Singapore. I found it very valuable to meet face to face with the representatives of companies my Gallery had used in the past but never had the prior opportunity to meet. It was great to be reassured that my concerns as a Registrar in shipping works were also very much the concerns of the Agents. The ability to discuss a wide range of issues
from tarmac access to new packaging materials was also very beneficial and informative. It was fantastic to see first hand the relationships and cooperation that exists between the agents. It was a very helpful and worthwhile experience to be able to participate in the ICEFAT
activities and I sincerely hope this opportunity is afforded to other non-members in the future.
