The Connecticut Maritime Association (CMA) has postponed its annual International Shipping Forum until the summer as the coronavirus continues to spread in the US.
The conference, which has attracted shipowners and others involved in maritime from around the world, will instead be held from 29 June to 1 July at its usual venue, the Stamford Hilton in Stamford, Connecticut.
CMA said all participants and speakers currently registered for the conference, trade show and exhibition have automatically been re-booked for the June edition of the event.
