On 21-23 March 2007, BIMCO, in collaboration with Ince & Co, London, will be holding its twenty-fifth Masterclass Workshop, a series of innovative BIMCO Courses focusing on key aspects of maritime commerce. The topic of this particular workshop is Sale & Purchase, and the event will be held in Istanbul, Turkey. The BIMCO Masterclass Workshops have been designed for participants who already have some shipping experience and who wish to broaden their knowledge of a particular topic within the shipping industry. Each workshop in the series consists of three days of presentations by the finest experts, combined with group discussions and case studies. Participants are expected and will be encouraged to contribute actively to both the group discussions and case studies. At the end of each workshop, participants may take an "open book" exam to assess their level of understanding of the subject matter. This assessment, which leads to the award of a BIMCO diploma, will be of value to employers and employees alike in demonstrating the effectiveness of the training and knowledge attained.
