About 150 members of the shipping community turned out for a World Maritime Day celebration in Vancouver.

The event at the Terminal City Club, hosted by the Vancouver International Maritime Centre (VIMC) and law firm Keesal Young & Logan, featured a seminar on the theme of connecting ships, ports and people.

A panel including Christian Ott of Teekay Corp and Chad Allen of the Shipping Federation of Canada represented a cross section of Vancouver shipping.
