CMA Shipping, Connecticut’s most famous shipping gathering, will head south next year to Texas. The event, founded in the 1980s in Stamford by the Connecticut Maritime Association, and subsequently taken over by Informa Markets, will move to Houston for the first time next year. Seatrade Maritime group director, Chris Morley, said: “Houston, with its thriving maritime ecosystem, unparalleled port infrastructure, and concentration of industry leaders, offers an extraordinary opportunity to elevate CMA Shipping to new heights. Driven by market dynamics, including the volume of business and customers in Houston, as well as invaluable feedback from our community, this fresh approach for 2027 has had overwhelming early support.” This year’s CMA Shipping is underway this week at the DoubleTree by Hilton Stamford culminating tomorrow night with Dag von Appen, non-executive chairman of Navigator Gas, set to receive the show’s famous commodore hat, CMA’s version of a shipping hall of fame. googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1_95_0_1_2'); }); TagsUnited States
