The Institute of Chartered Shipbrokers (ICS) Canada Branch, Women’s International Shipping & Trading Association (WISTA) Canada and the Canadian Maritime Law Association (CMLA) co-hosted an end-of-summer cocktail in Ottawa on September 19th 2018.
The event was held at Common Eatery, a very spacious and bright restaurant/bar on Elgin St in Downtown Ottawa, on a very pleasant afternoon. A total of 25 people attended with great representation from Transport Canada, Dept of Fisheries & Oceans, Ship Source Oil Pollution Fund, Federal Fleet Service and Canadian International Bureau of Shipping. Everyone mingled well and had a great time and quite a few stayed late!
This was ICS’ first event in Ottawa. A big thanks to WISTA and CMLA for approaching us to co-host and to everyone who attended and making the event a success. Looking forward to our next event in Ottawa!
On this September 19th ICS Canada organised luncheon seminar ” Container Shipping: Size Does Matter” in Vancouver, BC. Mr. Trevan Rose, Commercial Director at Seaspan, held great presentation on challenges experienced by the container trades, effect of the Panama Canal expansion and vessel capacity increase on the tariffs and rates. Event was attended by 29 guests.
Vancouver
The ICS Open day in Canada continues to be a real success. We continue to see attendance not in quantity, but in quality. As with last year, we look forward to helping attending students to connect to the industry and enroll to become ICS students.
As in previous years we held the ICS Open Day in the BC COS Boardroom and laid out brochures and material for mental stimulation and some snacks and drinks for sustenance.
We had two attendees from a local grain trading house that were looking to expand their shipping knowledge base. They arrived early and stayed for nearly two hours, chatting and asking a variety of questions on the benefits of the ICS and the relevance of the exams to their career goals. They were very interested in enrolling as students and both left the Open day advising they will take the Foundation Diploma in the April 2019 exam session. We will follow up accordingly.
Both prospective students were also very interested in attending the ICS Dry Bulk and Commodities conference and we will ensure they will also have the opportunity to participate in that also.
Montreal
ICS Open Days were held in Montreal at the offices of two major ship operators, Rio Tinto Marine on September 12th and Fednav International Limited on September 18th. Presentations were given on the background and activities of ICS, on the various qualifications and methods of study available and details such as cost, duration, etc. Eight staff from each company attended. Everyone seemed to appreciate having the presentation delivered at their office!
