Persuaded by poetry, ShipArrested.com Members elected to gather again for the 19th Annual Members’ Conference in the ancient city of Cairo this past April 22-24, 2025. 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 started off the conference on Tuesday with drinks and hors d’oeuvres poolside at the The Nile Ritz-Carlton. A hot, spring night made many members almost want to jump in. Wednesday, members engaged in a full day of discussion of the latest ongoings in ship arrest and release practice and recent 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 while setting sail on the Nile. The night was a perfect combination of picturesque setting, great weather, food and company.
Last but not least, Thursday’s leisure activities gave 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. So much to see in so little time, it is worthy of visiting again and again!
