In his speech about the organization, the President of the IMEAK Bodrum Chamber of Shipping, Mr. Orhan Dinç, said: “It is a pride for us to be a member of such an organization as the Chamber that represents our country. Each meeting is held in a different member’s country. Our honorable President, Mr. Tamer KIRAN, proposed to host it in Turkey and said that this would suit Bodrum, and he is right; Bodrum is at a very important point for our country, where shipping, Blue Voyage, and shipbuilding start tasks. All representatives are valuable people, experts in shipping matters in Europe. Therefore, it is very important for us that they visit our country and see our shipyards, marinas, and cultural values. We were very pleased with the positive views and comments we received from the delegates.
