In order to analyze the challenges of foreign trade to improve and enhance logistics in Mexican ports, as well as define an action plan, the Mexican Association of Shipping Agents (Amanac) will hold the XXVIII edition of the Annual Congress of Shipping Agents in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco .
The event will take place from October 2 to 5 and is entitled “The challenges of foreign trade in the logistics chain ,” according to a statement from Amanac, which detailed that the strategic proximity of the venue to the port of Manzanillo reinforces the relevance of this meeting.
Fernando Con y Ledesma, president of Amanac, highlighted the importance of the congress, which “will bring together distinguished representatives, managers and entrepreneurs, both national and international, specialists in the logistics sector, consolidating our position as an essential forum for dialogue, as well as collaboration in the maritime-port and foreign trade industry.”
For three days, attendees will discuss the challenges and opportunities in foreign trade and the strategic role of the maritime-port sector in the global and national logistics chain , to establish action plans focused on maximizing logistics.
Maritime transport as the axis of logistics, the role of port terminals as a critical link , the perspective of importers and exporters and the importance of road transport as an essential link are among the central themes of the event.
In addition, roundtable discussions will be held to explore key topics for the maritime, port and supply chain sectors.
The topics to be discussed include: “Maritime transport in logistics”; “Port terminals, a crucial link”; “Customer, importer and exporter”; “Road transport, an essential link”; “Challenges of the Bill of Lading Supplement” and “International vision”, among others. Also, a “Practical case of an import: the story continues” will be analyzed.
With these sessions, the congress will seek to address the most urgent challenges of the sector , focusing on improving the efficiency of supply chains and highlighting the strategic role of the maritime sector in the field of national and international foreign trade.
In this regard, Fernando Con y Ledesma stressed the importance of this issue, since there are 50 billion dollars (mdd) “in the waiting room”, from more than 100 companies interested in investing in Mexico.
According to the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI), in July of this year the value of merchandise exports reached 54 thousand 789 million dollars, which represented an annual increase of 14.7%, so the XXVIII Annual Congress of Shipping Agents becomes relevant in the context of global trade that Mexico has.
