#MarineMoney - Four days after the inauguration of the new US President in early 2017, Marine Money together with Anchor Sponsor KMARIN/KOTAM will host the 8th Annual Marine Money London Forum on Wednesday 25th January.

Amongst the Forum topics will be of course Brexit, the new US President and the impact on shipping. All in which will be discussed in the ballroom of The Dorchester Hotel on Park Lane, Mayfair. This will be the first Marine Money Ship Finance event of 2017 and its platform held in the UK capital is a major centre for shipping and finance, broking, legal and insurance.

London's location between the capital of Wall Street and the cargo demand of the Far East, is the place that shipowners from near and far call a home away from home. At the London conference leading shipping companies and financiers will meet to discuss challenge, risk, opportunity and investment - how to survive the downturn and prepare for the long awaited improved shipping market.

From buying dry bulk at rock bottom: structuring long term investments with Chinese financial leasing; analysing markets and assessing investment opportunities; finding finance from San Francisco, London and Shanghai.

The Marine Money London agenda 2017 will cover the red hot topics of the current market. To find the Marine Money Preliminary Programme click here.

Dublin Bay Old Gaffers

The Dublin Bay Old Gaffers Association aims to promotes interest in traditional gaff rig and seamanship, to offer help, advice and comradeship to members and to organise races and rallies for members in the Dublin Bay Area. 

The Dublin Bay Old Gaffers normally organise a regatta, two rallies and four races during the summer season and a varied, interesting and well-supported series of talks during the winter (proceeds raised are donated to the RNLI). 

Many Dublin Bay members also travel to regattas and rallies organised by other Irish Sea OGA areas. 

While the Dublin Bay Old Gaffers activities are focused on  Dublin Bay, they also have a cluster of members in the Cork area and have members from all over Ireland and some in Britain too.

The Association is working up lans to celebrate its 60th anniversary in 2023.  In 2013 a fleet of boats set off around the UK and Ireland to celebrate OGA50.
