The local chapter of the Institute of Chartered Shipbrokers (ICS) is set to host its inaugural South African Shipping Gala on 25 November at the Durban International Convention Centre.
The ICS chapter is working with the Moses Kotane Institute, the South African Association of Ship Operators and Agents (SAASOA) and the eThekwini Maritime Cluster to organise the gala dinner.
The evening will include the induction of two prominent industry leaders into the Shipping Hall of Fame.
Sponsors for the event include Sandock Austral Shipyards, MSC and Linsen Nambi Bunker Services.
Durand Naidoo, ICS Chairman and CEO of Linsen Nambi Bunker Services, said: ‘We do not have an existing event of this nature for the shipping industry and Durban, as a smart port, should host what will become an annual event.’
