Persuaded by poetry, ShipArrested.com Members elected to gather again for the 19th Annual Members’ Conference in the ancient city of Cairo. The event took place along the waters of the Nile at the luxurious Ritz-Carlton hotel with networking opportunities aplenty.
Following the usual ShipArrested.com format, the Welcome Reception kicked off the start of the conference on Tuesday with drinks and hors d’oeuvres poolside at the The Nile Ritz-Carlton. Wednesday, members engaged in a full day of discussion of the latest ongoings in ship arrest and release practice and cases around the world with networking breaks and lunch on site. To close the conference work day, delegates were treated to a special dining experience on the Nile.
Last but not least, Thursday’s leisure activities are planned to give participants a full immersion into Cairo’s rich culture. A guided tour of the Pyramids of Giza (Great Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure), the Sphinx and the Valley Temple, lunch at the 9 Pyramids Lounge overlooking the pyramids, followed by a visit to explore the Grand Egyptian Museum.
