The Liebherr Maritime Crane Division has been announced as sponsor of the first ever Irish Maritime Forum, which will take place in Cork’s City Hall on Friday, 26 September 2014.
The forum, themed ‘Developing the Dynamic Future for Ireland’s Maritime Sector’, will focus on exploring the future of the maritime sector within Ireland and will look closely at the challenges and opportunities faced by many within the industry.
Delegates from across the Irish maritime sector are expected to attend the forum, which is being hosted by the Port of Cork in conjunction with the Irish Ports Association.
“I am delighted to welcome Liebherr on board as key sponsor for the forum, which is already generating significant interest from key players across the maritime sector. As a leading manufacturer of industrial machinery including maritime cranes, Liebherr plays an important role in the commercial shipping business both in Ireland and further afield,” said John Mullins, chairman of the Port of Cork.
