Introduction:
Turkey is defined by as an emerging market economy but a largely developed one, with economists noting that in many ways it has weathered the credit crunch better than others. Turkish shipping has changed enormously over the past two decades, the recent changes may be seen as for the worse considering the current shipping markets, but in the long run they have brought the country into the frontline of the industry.
Turkey is often spoken of as the most interesting market in Europe where things happen - the Turkish Shipping Summit 2012 will discuss just that. A unique mix of presentation, panel discussions and debate and social networking will provide a great platform for the industry to focus on the real issues facing Maritime Turkey and its business partners.  Come and join the discussion on:

?Macroeconomic outlook: where and how Turkish maritime sector fits within it?
?The changing face of ship finance in a changing market
?Turkish financiers as a viable alternative to more traditional shipping lenders
?Traditional shipowning versus industrial conglomerates, as industrial money is moving into shipping
?Operational and cost efficiencies that work for maritime businesses
?Investment opportunities, as Turkish ports go private
?Turkish shipyards: what's next?
?And the latest on other topical issues: CO2 emissions, MLC, piracy, etc.
