It is with great pleasure we welcome you to the 31st annual HACC-NACC shipping conference in New York City, hosted by the

Each year we focus on a specific theme of importance to the global maritime industry, with panels and speakers discussing and debating cutting-edge issues in our rapidly changing sector. Attendees praise the conference’s value as a candid, timely, and relevant appraisal of the latest

trends and developments in commercial shipping.

We are confident that this year’s program will allow for lively discussions of important and challenging issues facing the maritime industry in turbulent and fast-changing times.
