May 7 - The WCA Project Network's eighth annual meeting has formally opened today in the beautiful surroundings of the Corniche in Abu Dhabi.
116 delegates from 67 companies from around the world have gathered to listen to presentations about Abu Dhabi's maritime facilities, speeches from Hansa Heavy Lift - the platinum sponsor of the conference, and an in depth analysis of the African project cargo scene.
After the presentations, the serious networking begins with over ten hours of scheduled one-on-one meetings.
