In Partnership with:

Entering its seventh year, our event remains the only forum of its kind dedicated to commodities, energy, and shipping. By focusing on these three strategic areas, which is followed by the same investor and trader universe, Capital Link is able to raise the Forum's visibility to a significantly larger, target audience of industry professionals.

Last year, about 600 attendees attended our Forum.

Linking Commodities – Cargo Owners & Shipping

• The Forum discusses the trends and developments in the key dry and wet commodities and how these impact shipping. It combines the view point on one hand of the commodity producers, traders, end users and major charterers and on the other hand of the vessel owners and operators.

• The Forum also discusses the interaction between the physical and derivatives markets, commodity derivatives, dry bulk and tanker FFAs, trading and clearing, credit and counterparty issues, legal issues, accounting and auditing, and the use of derivatives for trading and risk management.
