Westin Stamford Hotel News

Women’s International Shipping and Trading Association (WISTA) USA announced that Lois K. Zabrocky of Overseas Shipholding Group, Inc. (OSG) will be the keynote speaker at its 2nd Annual Luncheon in Stamford, CT. The luncheon is being held in conjunction with this year’s Connecticut Maritime Association (CMA) Shipping 2007 Conference. The luncheon will be held on Monday, March 19 at the Westin Stamford Hotel. Lois K. Zabrocky was appointed head of OSG’s International Product Carrier Strategic Business Unit in September 2005. In this role she oversees the company’s international product carrier business which includes Panamax and Handysize tankers that transport petroleum products.

Bringing together a diverse group of individuals within the maritime industry, the Connecticut Maritime Association (CMA), plans to host its annual Trade Show and Conference from March 17-19, 2003 at the Westin Stamford Hotel in Stamford, Conn. Touting a "fragile freight market, a contentious geo-political environment, commodity deflation and criminal environmental prosecutions," as some of the reasons for the current demanding state of the shipbuilding marketplace, CMA plans to produce its largest ever exhibition, which will focus on a discussion of ideas and issues, that will aim to tackle some of the most critical and pertinent issues in today's shipbuilding industry.
