Subject: Masterclass for EU officials on Shipping Business - Friday 3
March 2017
Dear Mr Arikas,
In the context of European Shipping Week, ECSA is organising a Masterclass
on Shipping Business on Friday 3 March, from 09.30 to 13.00.
The event is tailor-made for EU officials who want to gain better insight
in the economics and market developments that characterise the shipping
industry. The format is interactive and will allow you to engage in
discussions with a renowned market analyst and three European shipowners,
who operate in different business contexts:
* Stephen Gordon, Managing Director at Clarksons Research Services
(London)
Clarksons is the world’s leading provider of integrated shipping services.
Clarksons brokers bring together companies with cargo to ship (charterers)
and those with vessels capable of shipping it (owners). Clarksons also
provides financial services to help clients identify and manage risk, fund
transactions and offers support services in ports for ships, cargo
interests and crew. Clarksons’ research team is respected worldwide as the
most authoritative provider of intelligence on global shipping and the
offshore sector. With more than 70 full-time researchers, Clarksons
collects, validates, analyses and manages data to inform the key business
decisions that shape the shipping industry.
* Claes Berglund, Director Public Affairs and Sustainability at
Stena (Göteborg)
The Stena group is a privately owned shipping group and has activities
within ferries, tankers, ports, offshore drilling, ship management and
real estate to name the biggest areas. The ferry company Stena Line is one
of the world’s leading ferry companies operating more than 35 ferries
mainly in Northern Europe. Stena Bulk is a global tanker operator and

Management is a Ship Management company that handles the crewing and
operating of over 100 vessels for internal and external customers. Stena

* John C. Lyras, President at Paralos Maritime Corporation and Board
Member at the Union of Greek Shipowners (Piraeus)
The Union of Greek Shipowners was established in 1916. Greek shipowners
control the world's largest
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merchant_fleet> merchant fleet in terms of
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonnage> tonnage. Although a number of
Greek owners have diversified into other shipping sectors, Greek
shipowners have generally retained a focus on the wet and dry bulk
sectors. Today, the Greek fleet is largely made up of bulkcarriers (47% by
GT) and tankers (35%) with this combined share hovering around 85% for
most of the past twenty years.
* Thomas Rehder, Managing Partner at Carsten Rehder (Hamburg)
As shipowners, Carsten Rehder have traditionally operated tramp ships for
break bulk trades and in the past decades containerships as well as
multipurpose and heavy lift ships. Carsten Rehder ships are owned in
private partnerships, offering ship investment opportunities by public
offer and to individuals in small groups of partners by private placement.
The company’s shipmanagement department provides technical know-how for
all aspects of safe and reliable ship operations in accordance with
today’s standards of efficiency and safety. As chartering brokers, Carsten
Rehder covers the container markets, the bulk markets upto handymax size
as well as the breakbulk, project and heavy-lift trades.
Magda Kopczynska, Director Maritime Transport at DG Mobility and Transport
of the European Commission, will facilitate the discussions.
Participants to the Masterclass will receive a full documentation pack,
including all presentation materials.
The Masterclass will take place at the ECSA offices – Rue Ducale 67 in
Brussels. After the event, we will have the pleasure of offering you a
