Introduction:
Last year, the seventh India Shipping Summit brought together international maritime leaders and the top Indian shipping executives in a highly successful two day event.  Key stakeholders from around the world discussed and debated all of the main issues that face India's maritime future and the investment decisions that need to be made.
Among the 400 participants who attended and spoke at the 2011 Summit in Mumbai, were Shri K. Mohandas, Secretary, Ministry of Shipping, Government of India, S Hajara, Chairman and Managing Director, Shipping Corporation of India, Y Khatau, President, BIMCO & Vice Chairman and Managing Director, Varun Shipping and Spyros Polemis, Chairman, International Chamber of Shipping and Managing Director, Seacrest Shipping Co Ltd.
It's this unique mix of high level participants involved in panel discussions, debate and social networking that provides such a great platform for the industry to focus on the real issues faced by India's maritime community.  In short it's where the world of shipping meets in India.
