A NUMBER OF EVENTS IN SYDNEY AND MELBOURNE<br />
offered opportunities for people from the shipping and maritime<br />
sectors to come together and enjoy the warmer weather.<br />
High on the list was the annual Shipping Industry Golf<br />
Challenge held at the picturesque Mona Vale Golf Club. The<br />
event is a fundraiser for Westmead Children’s Hospital and the<br />
cumulative donation over the years is now close to $700,000.<br />
Also in Sydney, a first birthday celebration was held at Smoke<br />
Bar in Barangaroo House, recognising the first year of operations<br />
in Sydney for Engage Towage. The company’s CEO Mark Malone<br />
thanked guests for their support and Sister Mary from the Sydney<br />
Mission was presented with a cheque to support her work in<br />
supporting seafarers.<br />
Meanwhile in Melbourne, customs brokers gathered for the<br />
CBFCA National Convention at Crown Conference Centre. As well<br />
as the serious stuff, there was also plenty of time for networking<br />
and socialising and catching up with friends.<br />
Also in Melbourne, a lunch gathering took place for Baltic<br />
Exchange CEO Mark Jackson and head of Baltic Exchange Asia Su<br />
Ling Lu. The event was organised by Maritime Industry Australia<br />
and was held at Majella House on St Kilda Road, with guests<br />
defying brutally hot weather to enjoy the afternoon.<br />
