Marine Money’s sixth annual German Ship Finance forum in Hamburg was off to a rolling start on Wednesday. That evening began with a bustling cocktail party hosted by law firm Ehlermann Rindfleisch Gadow at their new offices at Ballindamm 26. Over 120 attended the speakers’ dinner hosted later that evening by Howe Robinson & Co. Hamburg at the exclusive Anglo-German Club.

Then nine the next morning the serious business of speeches began with an introduction by Ingmar Loges, Managing Director of conference partner HypoVereinsbank. Mr. Loges related a conversation held with his daughter that morning describing his reasons for attending: to meet business friends, listen to speeches, and maybe get some new creative ideas.

Marine Money’s Mike McCleery then welcomed the record crowd of 435 registered delegates, after which Conference Chairman Christian von Olderhausen of HCI Capital began the day, stressing the impressive innovation on both the equity and debt sides of ship finance in Hamburg and around the world that would be demonstrated throughout the day.
