executives in the container shipping industry globally will participate as
keynote speakers at the 6th Annual TPM Asia conference. Ma Ze Hua, President of
the COSCO Group and Ng Yat Chung, president and CEO of the NOL Group, parent of
container line APL, will deliver keynote speeches at the UBM Global Trade
organized conference, set for October 17-18 in Shenzhen, China, home to one of

Both executives will speak to the current state of container shipping and
the major issues facing customers, carriers, ports and the broader economy as

toward a less volatile and more predictable future, bringing greater
predictability and value to the global supply chains that depend on an
effective container shipping system.
