Members and guests attending our lunch on the 11th of January were treated to the eloquence and perception of Michael Grey's assessment of 2010-The Year of the Seafarer. Critical observations based on his knowledge and understanding of the industry were tempered with the realities of the challenges and changes impacting our industry. Michael's perspective as a writer, shipping journalist and former editor of Lloyd's List provided a reasoned and balanced appraisal of the achievements and limitations of the past 12 months.
This insightful analysis was remarkably enhanced with a response from our honorary member and Secretary General of IMO, Efthimios Mitropoulos whose inspiration created the Year of the Seafarer as a vehicle to raise the consciousness regarding the lives and contributions of the men and women who serve at sea. Our largest attendance since our annual dinner expanded by the welcome participation of the TSS group were informed and entertained and subsequently invited to join in an enlightened debate on
the ethos and values of our industry. This premier league match between two maritime heavyweights sent members and guests home (or off to the bar) with a buzz of excitement and inspiration on a topic close to everyone's heart.
Those are super cute. I like you on Facebook.
