Annual General Meeting & Valentine’s breakfast & Vessel launch
Have you ever witnessed the launch of a seagoing vessel up close?
Set your alarm early, because WISTA The Netherlands is offering her WISTA NL members a truly unique opportunity: combining our Annual General Meeting with the launch of MF Shipping Group’s brand-new vessel, hull no. FS 472.
This special morning becomes even more remarkable with the attendance of Mr. Arsenio Dominguez, Secretary-General of the International Maritime Organization (IMO).
An early start, a festive Valentine’s breakfast, and a front-row seat to see a ship touch the water for the very first time—this is an opportunity you won’t want to miss.
Join us for an inspiring morning where our AGM, networking opportunities, and a proud maritime tradition come together.
