Welcome to the April Cool Logistics Cool News and Views newsletter, in which we bring you the latest on our events and share the news stories that we’ve been reading and talking about.
Cool Logistics and Container News are pleased to announce an online seminar and virtual networking event for container logistics, cold chain and healthcare professionals, April 15 2021.
Cool Logistics Middle East will take place on 22 September 2021 as a one-day online seminar with our host port Sohar Port & Freezone.
We’re pleased to confirm that Cool Logistics Middle East, our next online seminar, will take place on June 30 2021. We’re excited to be focusing on this growth region: the food sector is flourishing across the GCC, however the cold chain needs development and investment. There is significant market potential in this area that still relies largely on imported food. Food security is a big issue with many local food production projects taking place. And with regional food trends such as e-commerce and vertical farming to also consider and discuss, Cool Logistics Middle East on June 30 is a definite date for your diary. We’re open for early registrations using this link here.
Our most recent online seminar, Containing COVID-19: Containerisation’s Role in Global Vaccine Logistics discussed the potential role for ocean freight in the safe transportation of vaccine logistics, together with the urgent need to ensure vaccination programmes are rolled out for our seafarers and other key logistics workers. If you weren’t able to join us on April 15, you can still register for our event platform where you can watch our seminar content on demand and take advantage of networking with fellow attendees using this link here.
As ever, we share the industry news that has caught our eye recently that you may have missed, including media coverage of our Containing COVID-19 online seminar which you’ll find below.
If there is anything you’d like us to include or cover, please get in touch directly with me at esther@nextlevelinfo.com
