Posidonia Posidonia is the world's largest and most prestigious shipping trade event and it takes place in Greece every two years attracting a significant number of visitors from all over the world. According to industry sources, Posidonia 2010, held from June 7-11, attracted nearly 1,800 exhibitors from 86 countries and was visited by more than 17,000 Greek and foreign industry professionals and government officials, of which 10,000 were from abroad.

Greek Shipping a Global Force Greek shipowners are a major force in global shipping controlling more than 20% of the world's merchant fleet by tonnage and Greece itself has a long tradition as a maritime nation. Greek shipowners who compete on a global scale have a track record as astute operators and asset traders. The global shipping and investment community continue to look at the behavior of Greek shipowners during peaks and troughs, as they have been able to prove their success in one of the most significant, difficult and unpredictable professions of the world.

Greek owned shipping is not related to the development of the Greek economy itself but depends on trends in the global commodity and energy markets. Still, shipping is a significant contributor to the Greek economy mainly through the foreign currency inflows it generates and the employment it provides. Piraeus is a major hub for the global shipping business and the industries that service it.

Capital Link's 2nd Posidonia Investor & Analyst day Given the significant number of international investors, analysts and financiers visiting Greece for Posidonia, Capital Link organized an Investor & Analyst Day during which the senior management of listed shipping companies provided an update and an interactive discussion on the developments and outlook of the various shipping sectors. The panel discussions were sector focused and not company specific.

The Forum was organized in cooperation with NYSE Euronext and NASDAQ OMX.

Global Sponsors The Global Sponsors for the Capital Link Shipping Forums were Fortis Bank Nederland, Lead Sponsor Knight Capital Group, Gold Sponsor Deloitte Hadjipavlou Sofianos & Cambanis, Marshall Islands Registry and PricewaterhouseCoopers, Silver Sponsors The Forum is organized in cooperation with NYSE Euronext and NASDAQ OMX.
