The Caribbean Shipping Association (CSA) is set to convene its 54th Annual General Meeting, Conference, and Exhibition from October 7 to 9 in St Maarten.

This highly anticipated event offers maritime stakeholders an opportunity to cooperate and transfer technical and operational expertise.

The CSA’s year-end meeting is one of two annual conferences that feature a range of topics reflecting the dynamic nature of the regional maritime sector. From discussions on technological advancements and sustainability initiatives to trade policies and port infrastructure development, the agenda addresses the most pressing challenges within the industry.

The CSA places strong emphasis on innovation and resilience, particularly in a period of rapid technological advancements that influence the shipping and logistics industry. Beyond the formal sessions, the CSA’s conference and exhibition offers networking opportunities for attendees to explore business prospects, and exchange ideas with industry peers. Its exhibition will feature cutting-edge products and services, with facilities provided for business-to-business meetings.

The association welcomed a record-breaking 500 delegates at its previous annual general meeting in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, last October.
