1st International Maritime Congress

What gave Szczecin a jolt to enhance its appeal as a port was the 1st International Maritime Congress organised in June jointly by the Northern Chamber of Commerce and Polsteam (Polska Żegluga Morska, PŻM) in cooperation with the City of Szczecin. Bringing together such a large group of the maritime industry representatives at large, the event proved unprecedented. With five thematic blocks, fifty speakers and five hundred guests, it offered an opportunity for a dialogue between different social groups, business, scientific and advisory groups, and also expert groups and artistic communities
