Many Happy Returns
(Posted on 15/11/17)
The major event in the maritime bulk industry’s calendar, the IBJ Awards, took place in Amsterdam on 13th November.
A large crowd of industry executives and leaders was welcomed to the Beurs van Berlage, Amsterdam’s former Stock Exchange building, in the heart of the city, by IBJ Publisher, Ray Girvan. The Port of Amsterdam’s Head of Energy, Bulk, Agri, Breakbulk & Offshore, Femke Brenninkmeijer, then welcomed guests from all over the world to her home city.
The event saw the ninth IBJ Awards return to where it was launched, with many of those who were present back in 2009 also attending this year along with even more newcomers.
