The combined North American Shipping Week event in Connecticut that was slated for October is moving online as the Covid-19 pandemic rages.

The event — a joint production of the Connecticut Maritime Association (CMA) and SHIPPINGInsight — had been scheduled to begin on 12 October in Greenwich before moving to Stamford on 14 October.

"In light of health and safety recommendations and keeping our community both here and abroad in mind, CMA Shipping 2020 will be delivered as a 100% virtual event," CMA president Chris Aversano said in a statement.
