Shipping equipment suppliers from across the world converged on Athens for their 62nd annual convention.

About 120 companies and orga­nisations attended this month’s two-day International Shipsuppliers & Services Association (ISSA) event, exhibiting their wares and taking part in panel discussions on the theme of enhancing the sector’s image.

“I’m not sure how much image we have, but we’re here to enhance it,” said the outgoing president, Singapore’s Abdul Hameed Hajah.
