Zurich’s growing international shipping community came together recently for Swiss apero-style Christmas drinks to celebrate another eventful year.

More than 60 traders, shipowners, bankers, brokers, equipment providers and lawyers from the region met at the city’s Collana Bar in an event hosted by the Zurich Shipping Network.

Toasts were given by Giandomenico Dormio, of the Swiss representative office of shipbroker Simpson Spence Young, and Patrick Bachofner of International Registries Inc.
