Virtual Eisbeinessen 2020
Burmester & Vogel participated in the Virtual Eisbeinessen 2020 event.
A Hamburg Tradition
The Eisbeinessen is the networking highlight of the international shipping industry, held annually in Hamburg since 1948. The event typically brings together professionals from across the maritime sector:
- Shipbrokers
- Shipping agents
- Freight forwarders
- Bunker dealers
- Insurance agents
- Bankers from around the world
Adapting to Circumstances
This year’s edition was held virtually, allowing industry leaders to maintain professional connections during the COVID-19 pandemic. The transition to a digital format showcased how maritime professionals adapted to unprecedented circumstances.
Industry Resilience
Despite the challenges, the shipping industry continued to find ways to connect and collaborate. The virtual Eisbeinessen demonstrated that the bonds of the maritime community remain strong, even when we cannot gather in person.
We look forward to future opportunities to connect with colleagues and partners in the global shipping industry.
